Make this red, white and blue dessert the centerpiece of your July 4th celebration, so healthy it can even be served for breakfast. If you want to make it parve, use non dairy whipped topping in place of yogurt.
Watermelon Almond Tart
Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 watermelon 3 to 5 inch thick sliced seedless watermelon rind removed
- 1 cup low or no fat natural vanilla flavored yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
Instructions
- In a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat, toast the almonds while constantly stirring to prevent burning. When they are golden, remove them to a heatproof tray or foil to cool.
- Cut the watermelon slice into 6 to 8 pie-shaped wedges. Dip the back (curved) side of each slice in the yogurt and then the almonds, re-assembling the pieces on a serving platter as you complete each piece.
- When finished, it will look like a piecrust of almonds around the watermelon slices.
- Frost the top of the reassembled watermelon with the remaining yogurt and decorate the top with the berries.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top. Serve cold.

You are right, this is an older recipe, but you can use anything you want.
Why use non-dairy whipped topping? These days its easy to get all kinds of vegan kosher yogurts. We even make our own. The kosher whipped toppings have a lot of chemicals we don’t like.
Looks amazing! I am going to coat sides with chocolate jimmies or coconut instead of nuts…..
