With summer fruit at its peak why not consider filling a trifle bowl with colorful melon balls, pineapple, kiwi, berries, grapes or whatever combinations you prefer?
Agreed it is a bit time consuming to use the melon baller instead of simply cutting up a melon (which you could also do and still arrange it in a trifle bowl), but if you have the time, and patience, it does make a “wow” presentation for a special occasion.
Be creative with your arrangement and colors. In retrospect, I felt my watermelon was a bit too close in color to the raspberries on top, but because the watermelon was so ripe I thought it best to be on top. (No harm done, just the perfectionist in me lifting its ugly head).
Chill it well before serving.
And speaking of serving, you may find it easier after you bring it to the table to empty it into a larger bowl to spoon out individual servings, making sure everyone gets all the fruit.
Sorry I didn’t get a photo of that as well, because it looked great in the large serving bowl all mixed up. So if you don’t have a trifle dish forget the layering, and serve it in an attractive glass or ceramic serving bowl.
