Ingredients
- 1 medium-large seedless watermelon
- 1 14 - 15 ounce can coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk chilled 8 hours or overnight
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp stevia powder
- 3 pounds fresh cherries with stems
- 1 bunch fresh mint
- 14 cup chocolate curls
Instructions
- Cut ends off watermelon so that it sits flat on platter, reserve ends for use later. Continue to cut rind off, starting at top of watermelon “cylinder” going downward.
- Chill mixer bowl in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add heavy cream and whip with whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Whip in cocoa powder and stevia (may substitute ¼ powdered sugar, if desired).
- Cut stems off cherries, leaving a 1/3” stub to secure into watermelon. If cherry is missing its stem, use a toothpick to secure. Start at bottom and work around watermelon going upward until entire sides are covered.
- Pour chilled coconut milk into cold mixer bowl, beat with cold mixer paddles for 30 seconds. Add cocoa and stevia, beat and additional minute or until incorporated and creamy.
- Pile up whipped coconut cream on top of cake. Use melon baller to scoop out watermelon balls from ends.
- Decorate top with watermelon balls, cherries and mint. Use store-bought or homemade chocolate curls (or mini chocolate chips) as the chocolate garnish.
