Watermelon Fun For Kids



           Watermelon  Snow  Cones              &            Watermelon  Cupcakes

Get Started ~  Snow Cones
 

You'll Need:
Picture
     Half a watermelon
Picture
  Ice Cream Scoop
Picture
    Shredded Coconut
Picture
 Snow Cone Cups

Directions:
Step 1.  Begin with half a watermelon & scoop out as many rounded scoops as you can, placing them in a large bowl.  When the watermelon is hollowed out, fill it with ice.  This will be a convenient display and holder for your snow cones.   

Step 2.  Fill snow cone cups with crushed ice until 1/2 to 3/4 inch below the rim.  You can pour watermelon puree (2 cups cubed watermelon pureed) over the ice or leave the ice plain. 

Step 3.  Place scoops of watermelon on top of ice & sprinkle with shredded coconut.  For a final fun touch, place a berry on top!

Step 4.  Set snowcones in your hollowed out watermelon for display and WOW your kids! 
                                                                           Enjoy!

Picture
Directions:
Picture
Step 1.  

Begin with a 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick slice of watermelon.
Picture
Step 2. 

Using a small circular cookie cutter, punch through melon to make the bottom part of the cupcake.

Step 3.

Use a mini ice cream scoop to make spheres - cut in half
Picture
Step 4. 

Assemble bottoms & tops in mini cupcake liners.

 
Step 5.

I use SO Delicious brand coconut milk yogurt
for the "icing" ~  blueberry for purplish icing &  strawberry for pink.  To increase the brightness of the pink, puree with a few strawberries prior to "icing".

Spoon yogurt over the top of each cupcake ~ just a little to make it drip down the sides or more to cover completely.

Step 7. 

Sprinkle shredded coconut over         the top to make it festive!


Step 8.  Serve and ....  Enjoy!
