Prepare the Watermelon:
Begin by slicing the watermelon into manageable wedges, ensuring that the skin is completely removed. From these wedges, cut bite-sized triangles for easier serving and consumption. -

Make the Yogurt Topping:
In a mixing bowl, combine the hung curd (Greek yogurt) with fresh cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk, blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. -
Assemble the Dessert:
Place the watermelon triangles neatly on a serving platter. Generously spoon the vanilla yogurt topping over each piece of watermelon, allowing it to cascade slightly down the sides for a more appealing presentation. -

Sprinkle the halved walnuts, slivered almonds, and black grapes over the yogurt-covered watermelon. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a lovely crunch and a burst of color to your dessert. -

Finish off your dish with a fresh garnish of mint leaves, adding a fragrant touch that elevates the overall experience. -
Serve:
