3-Layer Watermelon Gelatin Cubes... whaaat? Okay I know it sounds like something either from space or from Masterchef (let's go with this one), but I'm telling you these are one of the easiest "fancy" desserts to make!

They are striking, delicious, and full of melon flavor. These sweet treats are always a hit! They take a bit of time to make, but it is so worth it.

Christmas time in South Africa is amazing. It is unlike how I would imagine it to be on the Northern side of the world. Even though it always looks so magical and cosy to have a white Christmas, there is something to be said about a HOT Christmas as we have over here.

The days are long and sunny, and everyone is relaxed, having cocktails around the pool, it is just such a happy and festive time. But the last couple of days has just been unbearably hot. To the point where you just can't do anything. This is where WATERMELON comes to the rescue.

A refreshing, layered dessert

If I am one hundred percent honest, watermelon isn't exactly my favorite fruit. But when on hot days like today (and pretty much every day lately) watermelon does tend to get the job done in terms of cooling you down.

So in the spirit of making things look festive and also making things a whole lot cooler, I made this pretty darn cool-looking dessert, the 3-Layer Watermelon Gelatin Cubes.

Three Simple Watermelon Layers

These Jello Cubes are simple to make, they look amazing and they taste delicious and fresh. As the name says, it consists of 3 layers.

The base layer is purely watermelon. The middle layer is a watermelon and creamy yogurt layer. And the top layer is a sweet and creamy condensed milk layer. Sounds fabulous doesn't it?

3 Layer Watermelon Gelatin Cubes isn't a fancy dessert, even though it may look that way. It is actually just jelly, but add 2 more layers and cut it into cubes, and bam! you have an amazing-looking dessert that both adults and kids will love.

I hope you love this guide to 3-Layer Watermelon Cubes. And follow me on Instagram or Facebook for even more food and drink inspiration!
