Watermelon cheesecake

[Mr. Delicious]

I made watermelon cheesecake and now need ideas for what to use for seeds, i thought of dying fondant black and making seeds but fondant doesnt taste good, any ideas?

what about blueberries, or think about something tubular that you can slice seeds out of.

I would use chocolate. Either chocolate chips or if you slab some dark chocolate and cut tiny circles (ovals). I remember a watermelon sorbet, that used chocolate chips to mime the seeds, taste good too.

You could embed some pomegranate seeds so that the smaller top part is what shows if you can find some nice dark ones. Wouldn't be as realistic looking as chocolate but it would be tasty with the melon flavor.

mini choc. chips.

You could always use toasted shelled pepitas, although they are dark green, not black. They could be dipped in dark chocolate.

I found little flat black candy bats that should work great, i will post a picture when i make one next week.

You can get roasted watermelon seeds in Asian markets. They're a popular snack in Thailand. They are salty rather than sweet, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Watermelon cheesecake?

Anyway, do you want to bake these "seeds" into the cheesecake, or just use them as a decoration?

If you want to use "seeds" as a decoration, why not just pipe chocolate teardrops on top of the cake? You could tint the cheesecake pink if it isn't pink already and it will look like a giant watermelon slice.

Or you could forego the seeds altogether and just call it seedless watermelon cheesecake.

Black tapioca pearls?

Ok, so how did you make this watermelon cheesecake?

it started as my basic vanilla base and I simply added some watermelon flavoring from spicebarn.com and then dryed it red/pink and some green for the rind. I will post photos soon.
