What a fun and unique summer treat! As soon as I saw this on Ommy Noms, I knew I'd be making it. It's really difficult to top sitting in the back yard with your family and a big ol' slice of watermelon on a summer night, but this fro yo might just come pretty darn close. It's slight, refreshing, and perfectly sweet for a summer dessert. If you're looking for a fun twist on watermelon, give this a try!
