Ingredients
Watermelon – fresh, sweet, and hydrating
Cream Cheese – creamy base for the cheesecake
Graham Cracker Crust – crunchy, buttery foundation
Sugar – balances tartness and enhances sweetness
Gelatin – helps the cheesecake set without baking
Whipped Cream – lightens the texture and enhances flavor
Instructions
Prepare the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and pressing into the base of a springform pan. Chill while preparing the filling.
Blend watermelon chunks until smooth, then strain to remove pulp.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy.
Dissolve gelatin in hot water and mix into the cream cheese mixture.
Fold in the watermelon puree and whipped cream gently.
Pour the mixture over the chilled crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
Garnish with fresh watermelon slices or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Use seedless watermelon for a smoother texture.
Chill the mixing bowl before whipping cream for better results.
Let the cheesecake set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
