We won’t get into the whole “donut” vs. “doughnut” thing because I think you know which side of that debate I’m on. What we will discuss is how great donuts are. I mean, it’s essentially a piece of cake that you can eat for breakfast! Sounds pretty good to me.
The National Watermelon Promotion Board has a recipe on their website for “Watermelon Donuts,” and since I salivate at the sound of both those words, I decided to try the recipe for myself. Their recipe calls for the donuts to be topped with slivered almonds. You can try that, but I’m a little more adventurous, so I’ve altered the recipe to include “assorted toppings.”
Which toppings did I choose? As you can see in the photo, I created my donut with crushed peanuts and a chocolate syrup drizzle. It was dee-licious! Which toppings would you use?
WATERMELON DONUTS
INGREDIENTS
Watermelon
Sour cream
Sugar to taste
Vanilla to taste
Assorted toppings
DIRECTIONS
Cut out circular donut shapes from 1 1/2-inch thick slices of seedless watermelon. Eat leftover scraps of watermelon quickly, before anyone else does. Sweeten sour cream with sugar and a touch of vanilla to taste. Frost half the watermelon donut slices and place another slice on top of each, creating something that resembles a sandwich. Frost the top of your donut sandwich and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
Yummy Watermelon Donuts.
They were! I probably wouldn’t make them again, but they’re definitely worth a try. Kids would probably like them for the fun factor.
