Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large watermelon slice about 1 inch thick, cut from the center of the melon
Cheese Mixture
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
Toppings
- Strawberries, sliced
- Blueberries
- Kiwi, sliced
- Fresh mint, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, whipped cream cheese, and honey. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended, creating a creamy spread.
- Spread the Cheese Mixture: Take the thick watermelon slice and evenly spread the ricotta mixture over its surface, covering it completely to serve as your pizza “sauce” base.
- Slice the Watermelon: Carefully cut the watermelon into 8 equal slices, making it easier to serve as individual fruit pizza slices.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Arrange sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, and sliced kiwi evenly over each watermelon slice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and aroma.
- Finish with Shredded Coconut: Sprinkle shredded coconut generously over the assembled fruit pizza to add texture and a tropical hint.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the watermelon fruit pizza right away to enjoy the freshness and vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use a ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor contrast.
- You can substitute whipped cream cheese with regular cream cheese, but the texture may be denser.
- Feel free to add other fresh fruits like mango or raspberries to customize your pizza.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh to prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy.
- For a vegan version, consider using a non-dairy ricotta and cream cheese alternative and substitute honey with agave syrup.
