Ingredients

• 1 whole watermelon
• So Delicious Dairy Free Greek-Style Cultured Coconut Milk Yogurt (flavor of choice)
• 2 teaspoons acai powder
• Chopped fruit (I used peaches, kiwis, strawberries and blueberries)

Instructions

1. Cut ends off watermelon, then place vertically and carve the outside shell off in a smooth circular cake shape.
2. Mix the acai powder (you could also substitute this with cacao powder, cinnamon, or agave nectar) with the Greek-style yogurt until well mixed.
3. Lightly pat the watermelon with paper towels to take the excess water off.
4. Smooth the yogurt 'icing' over the 'cake'.
5. Place in refrigerator for 25 minutes.
6. Decorate with fruit. Serve immediately or leave in fridge.
