Instead of the traditional banana, this dessert uses chilled cubes of juicy watermelon as its base. Perfect for a hot summer day. Kids will love helping you assemble the dessert: scoop ice cream onto the watermelon cubes on a plate, drizzle with fresh blackberry sauce, top with whipped cream, garnish with a cherry, and sprinkle with crushed nuts. Little ones will be great with the berry puree, while older kids will be able to measure out the ingredients and beautifully assemble the watermelon split. Use any ice cream you like, experiment, and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures.
