Our Victorian friends enjoyed this refreshing salute to summertime during the late 19th century. It's a creative cross between a classic banana split and a fruit salad. Enjoy!!!

Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 medium seedless watermelon
6 large ripe bananas, quartered
1/3 cup fresh blueberries
1/3 cup granola

Directions:
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, marshmallow creme, lemon juice and zest until smooth; set aside. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop six balls from watermelon (save remaining melon for another use). In shallow dessert bowls, arrange four banana quarters; top with a watermelon ball. Spoon cream cheese topping over melon. Sprinkle with blueberries and granola. Serve immediately.
