Yield: 2 cakes

Ingredients

• 1 watermelon
• 2 cups soaked cashews
• 1/2 cup water or coconut water
• juice from one lemon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons of raw sweetener of your choice ( I used raw agave syrup)
• 1/2 cup almonds

Instructions

 Peel the watermelon alongside using a sharp long knife, then make a circle shape about 10 cm high or higher if you wish (I made 2 cakes out of one watermelon)

2. Put cashews, water/coconut water, vanilla extract, lemon juice and a sweetener of your choice in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. The cream should have a thick texture, if too thick, a more liquid.

3. Use a spatula to put your cream around the shaped watermelon, using water if too sticky

4. cut the almonds in a food processor and sprinkle them on the sides of your cake

5. Decorate the top of your cake with your favorite fruit
Put in a fridge for a couple of hours.
