Sally has created this amazing dessert by combining fruit and cheese together. The watermelon is cut and hollowed to create space for the goat cheese. Now, the watermelon doesn’t have to be cylinder in shape. It can be square which we think is easier to cut. The filling is where our creativity comes into play. In her recipe, she uses goat cheese and garnished with a thin slice of cucumber. But, we could replace the goat cheese with a scoop of ice cream or anything that matches well with the watermelon.
