Watermelon Cake Bites

Watermelon cake bites are small, cupcake-sized confections infused with the flavor of fresh watermelon. They are assembled by blending and shaping watermelon, then chilled to achieve a firm, bite-sized treat with a juicy interior and a slightly firm exterior. The final appearance is colorful, round, and reminiscent of miniature watermelons, perfect for a cool summer snack.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Fresh watermelon cubes seedless or de-seeded
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or agave syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 cup Crushed graham crackers for coating and texture

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Mini muffin tin
  • Cling film or plastic wrap
  • Freezer

Method
 

  1. Use a food processor to blend the watermelon cubes until smooth and juice-like, resembling a thick puree. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add honey or agave syrup to the watermelon puree and mix thoroughly to enhance sweetness. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  3. Line a mini muffin tin with small pieces of cling film or plastic wrap for easy removal. Using a spoon or small scoop, portion the chilled watermelon mixture into each cavity, gently pressing to form a compact ball.
  4. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers onto a plate. Remove the mini watermelon shapes from the tin, then roll each gently in the crushed crackers to coat the surface, simulating the appearance of a watermelon rind.
  5. Place the coated watermelon bites on a plate and freeze for at least 1 hour until firm and slightly icy. Serve directly from the freezer for a refreshing, bite-sized treat.

Notes

Ensure watermelon is de-seeded for a smoother texture. Adjust sweetness with honey to taste. These bites are best served frozen or chilled.
