If you’re looking for a fun and unique summer treat, this twist on a classic dessert is something you need to try today.

Watermelon is one of the best summertime snacks around. It’s a classic that’s incredibly refreshing and something both kids and adults love. This video shows you step by step how to make a watermelon “cake”, transforming the delicious fruit into an even more delicious dessert. All you need to do is cut up the melon into a cake-like base, then whip up some mousse-style frosting. Although this video uses a few ingredients that aren’t easy to find in the U.S. (like the mini packets of green tea), you can substitute any kind of fluffy icing to make your own version of this crazy creation.

The fun part about this idea is that you can customize it. Are you feeding a lot of people and want to make a double-layered cake? Try it out. Want to try mini watermelon cupcakes? Go for it. Between carving out the watermelon to the size you want and the ability to try many different types and flavors of icing, you can have a whole day of fun just experimenting with this recipe. Now, go forth and make a watermelon treat of your own!
