Jello Filled Watermelon
The most important ingredients for filling a watermelon with Jello:
-
Mini seedless watermelon
-
Two 6 oz. boxes of cherry Jello mix or any red/pink Jello flavor of your choice.
-
Leveled space in your refrigerator (it’s a good idea to clear a space in advance:)
How to Fill a Watermelon with Jello
You will need to remove the watermelon from the inside. It’s a great idea to get one of these watermelon slicers! You don’t have to throw away the watermelon. Enjoy it as usual:)
Prepare the two boxes of Jello mix according to the directions on the box in a large mixing bowl
I love that the jello slices keep their shape. Jello will last for a few days in the refrigerator, so you don’t have to cut it all up at once.
Enjoy the jiggly slices right away! You might want to only slice up however much you know you’ll be eating. Wasn’t that fun? Jello-filled watermelon is perfect for a warm and sunny day.
