Introduction

Watermelon pizza is a refreshing and healthy twist on traditional dessert pizzas. Featuring a juicy watermelon base topped with a creamy, sweet spread and fresh berries, it’s perfect for warm days and light snacking.

A round watermelon slice cut into eight triangular pieces arranged like a pizza on a wooden board, each slice showing three visible layers: the green rind on the edge, a thin white inner rind, and the thick, bright red juicy flesh as the main base. White yogurt or cream sauce is drizzled lightly over each slice in streaks. Red raspberries and dark blue blueberries are scattered evenly across all slices, adding bright color and texture. Small green mint leaves are also scattered on top and between the berries, adding freshness and contrast. Around the watermelon pizza, a few loose berries and mint leaves rest on the white marbled surface. A white bowl filled with more red raspberries is visible in the top right corner of the image.

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Blueberries

Tips & Variations

Use a serrated knife to cut the watermelon cleanly without squashing it.
Swap berries with other fresh fruits like kiwi, strawberries, or blackberries for variety.
For a vegan option, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut-based alternatives.
Chill the watermelon slice before assembling to keep the dish cool and refreshing.

Storage

Due to the fresh watermelon base, it’s best to prepare and serve this watermelon pizza immediately. If needed, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Note that watermelon can become watery if left too long, so consume promptly. Reheating is not recommended.

FAQs

Can I use other sweeteners instead of monk fruit blend?

Yes, you can substitute with powdered sugar, honey, or maple syrup, but adjust the quantity to taste as sweetness levels vary.

How do I keep the toppings from sliding off the watermelon?

Spreading a thicker layer of the cream cheese mixture helps the berries adhere better. Cutting the watermelon into a firm, thick slice also provides a stable base.

Toppers

1/2 cup Blueberries

Instructions

Prepare the watermelon base: Slice the watermelon at its thickest point into a 1-inch-thick disc. This thick slice will serve as the pizza base.

Assemble the watermelon pizza: Drizzle, spread, or use a piping bag to evenly cover the watermelon slice with the cream cheese mixture, creating a smooth layer resembling a pizza sauce or cheese layer.
Add the fruit toppings: Evenly scatter the blueberries and raspberries over the cream cheese topping. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if you like, adding a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Slice and serve: Cut the watermelon pizza into 8 slices, similar to a traditional pizza, and serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing combination of flavors and textures.

Notes

For best results, use a seedless watermelon to avoid seeds in the pizza base.
The cream cheese mixture can be adjusted in sweetness or thickness by modifying the amount of sweetener or heavy cream.
Feel free to substitute berries with other fresh fruits like sliced kiwi, strawberries, or blackberries.
This recipe is best served immediately to maintain the watermelon’s freshness and prevent sogginess.
To make the dessert vegan, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
