Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large round slice of seedless watermelon (about 1 inch thick)
Topping
- ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt or whipped cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetening)
Fruit Toppings
- ½ cup sliced strawberries
- ¼ cup blueberries
- ¼ cup kiwi slices
- ¼ cup mandarin orange segments
Garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut or chopped mint
Instructions
- Prepare the watermelon base: Lay the watermelon slice flat on a cutting board or serving platter. Gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, ensuring the toppings will stick better.
- Mix the creamy spread: In a small bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt or whipped cream cheese with honey or maple syrup if you want extra sweetness. Stir until well blended.
- Spread the base layer: Evenly spread the creamy mixture over the top surface of the watermelon slice, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean presentation.
- Decorate with fruits: Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, and mandarin orange segments on top of the creamy layer in a visually appealing pattern.
- Add garnish: Sprinkle shredded coconut or chopped mint over the fruit-topped watermelon for added texture and freshness, if desired.
- Serve: Slice the watermelon fruit pizza into wedges like a traditional pizza and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- This refreshing dessert is best served fresh to maintain the watermelon’s juiciness and the cream’s texture.
- Feel free to mix and match fruits based on what’s in season—mango, raspberries, or grapes also make great alternatives.
- For a dairy-free or vegan option, substitute the vanilla Greek yogurt or cream cheese with coconut yogurt or another plant-based spread.
