20130826-181525.jpg

This month at our house is all about celebrating what is growing in the garden the theme of decorating is watermelon, so I tried to find recipes all related to watermelon and this is what I came up with for the dessert table.

I went a little crazy with the pictures but I hope you will enjoy them and maybe try a watermelon dish from our watermelon dinner party.

Pudding Tarts

These are as simple as it gets for making tarts.

* 1 box Vanilla Pudding and follow directions on package
* 1 box Pre-made Pie Crust and bake according to directions on package careful not to over bake with smaller pans. (The small tart pans I bought from Bed Bath & Beyond.)

I used a Mint leaf and 4 Raspberries to decorate/garnish each one, placing one of the smaller Raspberries behind Mint Leaf.

You could use watermelon diced for the center with the mint leaf.
