The showstopper

Lifestyle blogger POPPY DEYES’ watermelon ‘cake’ takes the hassle (and the calories) out of dessert

INGREDIENTS 1 watermelon Toasted flaked almonds Pistachios Thick Greek yoghurt Handful of berries METHOD 1 Take a watermelon and, with a sharp knife, slice away the rind.

2 Chop off the top and bottom and shave the sides to sculpt into a cake shape.

3 Slather on one or two (depending on the size of your melon) big pots of yoghurt, smoothing it like icing with a palette knife over the edges and top until the melon is covered.

4 Decorate with a handful of berries, crumbled pistachios and toasted flaked almonds. Refrigerate until your guests arrive, then serve, cut in large slabs.
