Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium seedless watermelon (about 8–10 lbs), sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder (preferably Chipotle chili powder)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds or chopped pistachios
  • Optional: a pinch of extra chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Slice the watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds, removing any visible seeds. Place slices on a large tray or platter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and honey (if using). Stir well to blend.
  3. Drizzle fresh lime juice evenly over the watermelon slices. Sprinkle the firecracker spice mix on top and rub gently to coat. Let rest.
  4. Scoop the thickened coconut cream from the chilled can into a mixing bowl, leaving watery liquid behind. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in blueberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the whipped coconut cream. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  6. Spoon dollops of blueberry coconut cream over each watermelon slice, leaving some red showing around edges.
  7. Sprinkle chopped mint and nuts over the top. Add a pinch of chili flakes if desired.
  8. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to maintain crispness.

Notes

Use a firm, ripe watermelon to avoid watery slices. Chill coconut milk overnight for best whipping results. Fold blueberries gently to keep vibrant color. Serve within 1 hour for best texture. Optional to grill watermelon slices for smoky flavor.
