Recipe Introduction
With Whipped-Cream Mayonnaise
List of Ingredients
1 medium Ripe watermelon
1/4 cup Powdered sugar
1 quart Ginger ale
Lettuce leaves
Whipped-Cream Mayonnaise
1/2 cup Heavy cream
1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Watermelon juice
1 pinch Salt
1 dash Paprika
Recipe
Using a teaspoon (or a melon-baller) scoop out the pulp from watermelon.
Drain off juices and put pulp in a large bowl. Sprinkle with sugar and cover with ginger ale.
Refrigerate 30 minutes; then drain off the liquid, which may be served over ice as a beverage, reserving 2 tablespoons juice for the Whipped-Cream Mayonnaise.
Arrange the drained pulp in large lettuce-leaf cups for individual servings, or in a large leaf-lined serving bowl for table service. Top with a generous dollop of Whipped-Cream Mayonnaise.
For the Whipped-Cream Mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form; stir in sugar. In a medium bowl, blend mayonnaise with reserved watermelon juice, salt, and paprika. Fold in whipped cream.
This recipe serves 6.
