Ingredients
- 1 Whole watermelon
Instructions
- Cut the whole watermelon in half width-wise.
- Lay the half watermelon on the cutting board with the cut side facing downwards, and cut the watermelon into half again.
- Hold your knife perpendicular to the shorter width of the watermelon and cut it into slices. Each slice should be the shape of a quarter circle.
- Cut each slice into half to form a one-eight pie shape.
- Next, make 2 cuts on the skin section of the watermelon slice to form the base of the Christmas tree.
- Then, make a straight cut from the top of the tree trunk along the line which separates the watermelon flesh from the watermelon skin. Do the same for the other side.
- Remove the two cut-outs. Repeat this process for the rest of the watermelon. Chill in the fridge until ready to eat.
