This year has been full of seriousness – serious news, serious quarantines, serious problems. Sometimes it’s important to shake away that heavy mood and just have some silly fun.
We at North West Wholesale have found a fantastic pool-side treat that you can make on your own or with your family. It’s especially great fun if you have kids.
These are Watermelon Donuts! A sweet treat that is simple, fun to create, and all about that healthy fruit. They are delicious to eat and even more adorable to look at.
All you need to begin your own ‘watermelon bakery’ is:
- 1 small watermelon
- 1 14 oz. can of coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
- A round biscuit cutter
- A spoon
- Sprinkles and topping of your (and your kids) choice!
- Cut the watermelon into 1 ½” slices
- Use the biscuit cutter to make circles out of each watermelon slice. Then use your spoon to carve out an inner circle for each, making the holes in the middle of each ‘donut’
- Place the chilled coconut cream into a bowl, separating the solid cream from the liquid. Then discard the liquid.
- Use an electric mixer to whip up the coconut cream – just like you would for whip cream. Add the vanilla extract and continue to whip for a few more seconds.
- Spoon the whipped coconut cream over the watermelon circles and add whatever toppings you want (this is a great time to bring in the kids to help with sprinkle creativity!)
Bring them out to the poolside, sit, eat, and enjoy! A healthy, delicious treat that simply screams summer.
