Take note
Please be careful while handling hot liquids and sharp utensils. Also, keep in mind that fruit roll-ups require some time to set, so plan accordingly.

1

Prepare the Watermelon Puree

Start by cutting a ripe watermelon into chunks. Remove any seeds and blend the watermelon until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can strain the puree to remove any pulp. Set aside for later.

2

Add Lime Zest and Juice

Zest a fresh lime into a mixing bowl, making sure to only scrape off the bright green outer layer, not the bitter white pith. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl as well. Mix the lime zest and juice into the watermelon puree.

3

Sweeten the Mixture

To balance the flavors and add a touch of sweetness, stir in a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, adding more if desired. Now your fruity mixture is ready!

4

Spread the Mixture

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the watermelon lime mixture onto it. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.

5

Create the Shimmering effect

Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle some edible shimmering powder in a color of your choice over the mixture. Gently swirl the powder with a toothpick or skewer to create a stunning marbled effect.

6

Bake and Roll

Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature or use a food dehydrator if you have one. Bake the mixture for 4-6 hours, or until it is no longer sticky to the touch. Let it cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel the fruit roll-up away from the parchment paper and roll it up tightly.

7

Slice and Serve

Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled-up fruit mixture into individual portions. Serve your shimmering watermelon lime fruit roll-ups as a delightful snack or treat, and share the fruity love!
