Watermelon 'Cake' with Summer Fruit & Raspberry Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 seedless watermelon (crosswise section) rind removed
  • 1 small cantaloupe, halved, peeled, and seeded
  • 3 kiwifruits, peeled and sliced
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 (12 oz.) bag frozen unsweetened raspberries
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 3 tbsp. granular sugar
Makes 16 Servings 
  1. Cut watermelon into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Stack rounds on a serving plate so they resemble a cake. 
  2. With a melon baller, scoop out balls from cantaloupe. Decorate top of watermelon and plate with cantaloupe, kiwifruits, blueberries, and strawberries. 
  3. Combine raspberries, orange juice and sugar in a blender; pulse until smooth. Pour mixture through fine sieve set over a small bowl. With spoon, press on solids to extract all juice; discard seeds. 
  4. To serve, cut watermelon 'cake' into 16 wedges and serve with raspberry sauce.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. You can have your cake and eat it too and it can be good for you. This colorful cake is cold, refreshing, tasty and filling. You get your daily servings of fruit in this cake and it will leave you satisfied. If you don't have cantaloupe on hand, substitute pineapple and the cake will be just as delicious. If you don't want to use granular sugar in the sauce, substitute honey and the sauce will be just as sweet.
