A Taste of Summer






Spring is in full force this week with 50-60 degree weather forecasts, which makes me hopeful that summer isn't too far behind! Here's a quick recipe that is absolutely to die for!


Watermelon Cupcakes

  • 8 cupcake liners
  • 8 cupcake shaped pieces of seedless watermelon, (see below)
  • 2 cups pineapple cream cheese frosting *
  • Sprinkles for garnish
Place the liners in an 8-cup cupcake tin.  Cut 3-inch thick slices of seedless watermelon. Cut round cupcake sized pieces from the slices.  Put a watermelon ‘cupcake' in each liner.  Place a dollop of frosting on each cupcake.  Decorate as desired with sprinkles.  Serves 8.

*Pineapple Cream cheese Frosting 
  • 1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple 
  • 8 ounces low fat cream cheese 
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Finished ....













Enjoy!
