FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best to assemble this dessert right before serving. If made too early, the watermelon can release water and make the toppings slide. You can prep the fruits and cream ahead of time and assemble just before serving.

Can I use yogurt instead of whipped cream?
Yes, Greek yogurt works perfectly and makes this recipe lighter and healthier. It also adds a slight tang that pairs well with the sweetness of the fruit.

How do I keep it from getting watery?
Make sure to pat the watermelon dry very well before adding the cream layer. Also avoid letting it sit too long before serving.

What fruits work best?
Berries work best because they are not too juicy and hold their shape. You can also add kiwi, mango, or grapes for variety.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes, simply use a dairy-free whipped topping or coconut yogurt as the base layer.
