This Summer Watermelon Pie makes the perfect dessert for those long, hot summer days. Whether you are hanging out with your friends in the backyard, around the pool, or even picnicking at the beach!
Why We love Summer Watermelon Pie
It is about 1,000 degrees in Miami this summer. Okay, so if I am honest, that may be a tiny bit of a hyperbole. So let us just suffice it to say that it is hot as hell in Miami and that we are all sweating to death!
It has been so hot that I bought a little lounger pool off Amazon for the backyard! While hanging in the lounger, of course we want a glass of wine and snacks. There are always snacks! A girl's gotta eat, you know?
What makes Summer Watermelon pie so great
This Summer Watermelon pie recipe is so light and refreshing, and it not too overly sweet. It is just perfect for those long, lazy - and hot - days of summer, whether you live in South Florida or anywhere else in the world!
I love a good fresh fruit salad, or an ambrosia salad, and this pie has that sort of feel to it. It's light and refreshing, and you would probably also really enjoy it even without the crust! Why not?
