4th of July? Time to make pie!

After 3 days of the children being deprived of swimming pools due to thunderstorms and heavy rain, my indoor summer activities list is getting pretty played out. With the 4th of July only a few days away, I figured we could make a pie. But not just any pie, no... Look at the picture, can you guess? Yes that's right - a watermelon cream pie! Now before you go saying, "EEEWW!," and "WHY??" just admit to yourself that berry pies are played out and you are intrigued, so read on -

The recipe is basically this one
that turns out to be very preschool princess friendly in the preparation department.

2 & 1/2 cups of watermelon chunks diced into small cubes. (seedless is probably the way to go here)
1 /2 cup sugar
1 8oz. package cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 drops of red food coloring (who doesn't love a pink pie!)
1 prepared pie crust
2 cups prepared whipped cream for topping (you had to buy some for this recipe anyway so why not whip your own?)
Whip sugar, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and food coloring together until smooth and fluffy, about two minutes. Drain any excess liquid from your diced watermelon, then using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold the watermelon into your cream mixture.
Spoon into prepared crust and top with whipped cream. Chill for at least one hour if possible -

or just eat right away.
