Ingredients
Scale
- 1 mini watermelon
- 1 cup white grapes
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- 6 (0.25 oz) packets unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 1½ cups hot water
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Slice the top off the mini watermelon and hollow it out with a spoon. Discard the flesh or save it for smoothies.

- When ready to serve, slice into wedges and enjoy the wobbly magic!
