Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 small watermelon
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granola
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the watermelon thoroughly and pat dry with clean kitchen towel.
- Cut watermelon into 1-inch thick round slices, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. Remove seeds carefully to create uniform circular bases.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until ingredients are smoothly blended and create a creamy consistency.
- Place watermelon rounds on a clean serving platter or cutting board.
- Using a small spoon, spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture evenly across the top of each watermelon slice, covering the surface completely.
- Sprinkle granola over the yogurt layer, ensuring even distribution for added crunch and texture.
- Finely chop fresh mint leaves and delicately scatter them over each prepared watermelon treat for additional flavor and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the treats for 10-15 minutes to allow yogurt to slightly set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy these refreshing, no-bake watermelon treats immediately for optimal taste and texture.
Tips
- Choose a ripe, firm watermelon with a deep, uniform color for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to create clean, even watermelon rounds for a professional presentation.
- Pat the watermelon slices completely dry to prevent the yogurt from becoming watery.
- Chill your serving platter beforehand to keep the treats extra cool and refreshing.
- For a gourmet twist, experiment with different granola types or add a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- If preparing in advance, add granola just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.
- For a more indulgent version, try adding a drizzle of dark chocolate or a sprinkle of toasted coconut.
