The fresh summer treat will inspire you to cook all kinds of fruity dishes. To make this tasty treat, start by turning four cups of diced watermelon into juice by blending it up. Mix half a cup of the juice with two thirds of a cup of cornstarch and stir before adding the rest of the melon juice into a saucepan. Simmer this and add half a cup of sugar for sweetness. Cook the mixture for ten minutes as it thickens and then pour it into single serve containers and refrigerate for six hours. You can top each watermelon pudding with a simple garnish like chopped chocolate or pistachios. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Fruit-based Desserts:** Creating homemade desserts using fresh fruits offers a healthy and customizable alternative to traditional desserts. - **Creative Pudding Recipes:** Exploring unconventional ingredients and techniques in pudding recipes allows for unique flavor combinations and innovation in the dessert industry. - **Refreshing Summer Treats:** Developing new recipes for light and refreshing summer desserts satisfies consumer demand for seasonal and refreshing treats. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can capitalize on the trend of DIY fruit-based desserts by developing and marketing new products and recipes that cater to health-conscious consumers. - **Confectionery and Sweets:** In the confectionery and sweets industry, there is an opportunity to create innovative and eye-catching pudding products using unusual and creative ingredients. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** By incorporating unique and refreshing summer dessert options like watermelon pudding, the hospitality and tourism industry can enhance the dining experience and attract more customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canned Watermelon Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela.md) - [Summer Biscuit Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocky-summer-flavors.md) - [Bakery-Inspired Pudding Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pudding-pie-filling.md) - [Watermelon-Inspired Ice Cream Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wattamelon-sherbet-cake.md) - [Plant-Powered Puddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantpowered-pudding.md) - [Clean-Label Frozen Puddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-puddings.md) - [Hydrating Melon Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela-watermelon-water.md) - [Nutritious Watermelon Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanda-loca-smoothie.md) - [Juicy Watermelon Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watermelon-moscato.md)
