Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 slice Watermelon (a round disc, 1 inch thick)
Cream Cheese Topping
- 3 tbsp Cream cheese (softened, cut into cubes)
- 3 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (adjust to taste)
- 2 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Toppers
- 1/2 cup Blueberries
- 1/2 cup Raspberries
- Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
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.
- Make the cream cheese topping: In a blender, combine the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered Besti sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetener if desired.
- 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.
