# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required when it is ninety degrees out and the last thing you want to do is turn on the stove
  • The combination of cold juicy watermelon with creamy yogurt hits that perfect sweet spot after a heavy summer meal
  • People will gather around this thing like it is some kind of edible art project
02 -
  • Watermelon releases water like crazy once you cut it, so patting it dry is the step that determines if this looks professional or like a sloppy mess
  • The yogurt layer needs to be thick enough to stay put but not so thick that it falls off when you take a bite
  • This does not keep well so make it right before serving and plan for people to devour it immediately
03 -
  • A drizzle of melted dark chocolate over the top transforms this from refreshing dessert to something that feels totally indulgent
  • Work quickly once you start assembling because the yogurt will start to melt into the watermelon
