This Fun Watermelon Jell-O Recipe is a Cookout Hit
Watermelon recipes are everywhere, but if you’re bored with watermelon salads, try this viral TikTok trend for a fun twist. This idea, shared by content creator My Nguyen of @myhealthydish on Instagram, is a hit and looks delicious.
To make this dessert, Nguyen cut off the top of a watermelon and hollowed it out to create a bowl. She pureed the watermelon flesh and strained the juice to remove the pulp.
She then mixed two cups of watermelon juice with one cup of water and four packets of plain gelatin for a firm consistency.
She placed the hollowed watermelon in a bowl to keep it steady, filled it with grapes, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, and poured the gelatin mixture over the fruit. She put the top back on the watermelon and chilled it overnight.
Once the gelatin set, Nguyen sliced the watermelon to reveal colorful fruit in the gelatin, cutting it into wedges.
People suggested in the comments that you could add alcohol for watermelon Jell-O shots or use coconut water for a tropical flavor.
There are many variations, so you can make it your own with different fruits or flavored Jell-O.
This recipe is fun to make with kids and sure to be a star at your next barbecue. According to Parade, it’s a showstopper and easy to prepare.
