I know, I know, there are lots of guys out there who are great cooks, so I really have no excuse, but at least I\u2019m willing to admit my weaknesses. Which is why, when I saw the word \u201ceasy\u201d in the name of this recipe, I had to put that claim to the test.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, it\u2019s my personal goal to try out most of the recipes featured here on What About Watermelon before I post them. This trial serves several purposes. First, it allows me to take photos of the finished product (they might not always be pretty). It also allows me to report on taste and make any suggestions to the recipe or directions. I can\u2019t promise that I\u2019ll test them all beforehand, but I\u2019ll try many of them.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the \u201cEasy Creamy Watermelon Pie.\u201d I\u2019m happy to report that this recipe lived up to its title by being both easy and creamy. I would also suggest adding the word \u201cdelicious\u201d to the name. I forgot to take a picture, so the photo you see above is a shot I found of something similar (so don\u2019t be alarmed if your attempt doesn\u2019t look like that).<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 (3 ounce) package watermelon gelatin<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup boiling water<\/li>\n<li>12 ounces of whipped cream<\/li>\n<li>2 cups cubed seedless watermelon<\/li>\n<li>1 graham cracker crust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Combine gelatin and boiling water in bowl. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature (to speed up the process, put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes, but don\u2019t leave it in there too long or the mixture will harden). Whisk in whipped cream. Fold in watermelon cubes. Spoon mixture into crust. Chill for three hours or overnight and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a guy, my culinary skills have certain limitations.
