Healthy watermelon cake

Have some friends coming over at the weekend and want to serve up aspecial dessert that's healthy? How about Toby's watermelon cake - it tastes really good, but has way fewer calories than traditional cakes.

Ingredients:

1 large watermelon 2 cans full fat coconut milk (left in fridge for 6 hours or more)4 oz sliced almonds or shredded coconutSeasonal fresh fruit (for topping)

Instructions:

  • Put the two cans of coconut milk in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours until the water and the cream has separated

  • Toast the almonds in a skillet until lightly brown and set aside to cool

  • Slice up the fruit for dressing - we have used strawberries and kiwifruit, but any berries will do - and set aside

  • Take a water melon and cut the top and bottom off so that they are flat. Remove the skin from around the sides.

  • Use a paper towel to blot excess water from the sides

  • Whip the coconut cream until stiff

  • Cover the sides and top with the cream then scatter over the almonds

  • Top with fresh fruit and serve immediately or within a few hours ( ifkept refrigerated)
