For those searching for a new way to enjoy fresh watermelon, this deep fried dessert might be something worth testing out. The dish completely transforms the taste and texture of a slice of watermelon into a stylishly modern sweet treat.
While frying watermelon might not be the first cooking method that comes to mind when you see the melon, it happens to add a uniquely crunchy taste and texture to the fruit's flesh. The recipe calls for searing thick watermelon slices on a grill in oil and icing sugar. The watermelon is seared on each side to give it a crust. Then the watermelon can be cut into squares and topped with vanilla ice cream, mint and walnuts.
