Makes 6-8 slices

Ingredients

1 small seedless watermelon, halved lengthwise and scooped out
2 cups mixed fruit (blueberries, raspberries, halved grapes, chopped strawberries)
5 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
½ cup cold water (for blooming the gelatin)
1¼ cups hot water (to dissolve gelatin)
2 packets FlavCity Electrolyte Drink mix (any flavor)
1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup

Directions

Prep the watermelon. Cut the watermelon in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ½-inch border so the rind holds its shape. Place each half, cut side up, in a bowl to keep them steady. Then, evenly distribute the mixed fruit into the hollowed watermelon halves.
Make the gelatin mixture. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over ½ cup cold water in a small bowl and let it ‘bloom’ undisturbed for 5–10 minutes, until thickened (don’t skip or rush this step). You’ll know it’s ready when it’s firm but jiggly. Then add 1¼ cups hot water (not boiling) to the bloomed gelatin and whisk until it’s completely dissolved and smooth. Let the hot gelatin mixture cool slightly for 2-3 minutes. Add the FlavCity Electrolytes, and whisk until completely dissolved. Then add the honey or maple syrup, and mix well again.
Carefully pour half of the gelatin mixture over the mixed fruit into each half of the watermelon, filling to the edge being careful not to overfill. Place the halves in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours or until fully set.
Once firm, slice the halves into 3-4 wedges and serve cold. Enjoy!.

Note

Don’t use kiwi, papaya, pineapple or mango in your mixed fruit. They have enzymes that counteract the gelatin, so your mixture won’t set.
