Watermelon Bowl
Watermelon does double duty: the puréed juice replaces water in the gelatin and the empty shell becomes a bowl for this refreshing dessert.
Prep: 10 min | Yield: 16 servings, 1/2 cup each
Ingredients
- 1/2 of 16 pound seedless watermelon
- 4 (3 ounce) boxes Jell-O Cherry Flavor Gelatin
Instructions
- Cut 1/2 inch thick slice from rounded bottom of watermelon half to prevent it from rolling around. Scoop watermelon pulp into large bowl; reserve shell. Blend pulp, in batches, in blender until smooth; pour each batch of juice into separate large bowl. (You should have about 7 cups juice.)
- Pour 2 cups juice into saucepan; bring to boil. Remove from heat.
- Add dry gelatin mixes; stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Add to remaining juice in large bowl; mix well.
- Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Pour into watermelon shell. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.
- When gelatin is firm, cut away any watermelon rind that extends above the gelatin layer.
