Watermelon Fruit Pizza
Description
The Watermelon Fruit Pizza recipe uses a thick, round slice of watermelon cut from the melon’s center to serve as a sweet and sturdy base. A blend of ricotta cheese, whipped cream cheese, and honey is mixed until smooth and spread evenly over the watermelon slice, providing creamy and mildly sweet contrast to the watermelon’s freshness. The pizza is then topped with a colorful array of fresh fruits including strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi, which add bursts of tartness, sweetness, and varying textures. Mint leaves add a fresh herbal note, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut provides additional texture and tropical flavor.
This dish does not require baking and is intended to be served immediately to maintain the watermelon’s crispness and freshness. It can serve as a light dessert, a refreshing snack, or a visually appealing party dish.
A vegan variation can be made by substituting the cheese mixture with coconut cream combined with shredded coconut as the base topping, followed by fruits as preferred.
Ingredients
- 1 watermelon slice about 1 inch thick, cut from the center of the melon, large
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese whipped
- 1 tablespoon honey
- strawberries sliced, for topping
- blueberries for topping
- kiwi sliced, for topping
- mint for garnish, fresh
- 1 tablespoon coconut for topping, shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the ricotta, cream cheese and honey together until combined.
- Spread the ricotta mixture over the watermelon and cut into 8 equal slices.
- Top the slices of watermelon with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi and mint. Sprinkle the shredded coconut and serve immediately.
Notes
- Spread the ricotta and cream cheese mixture on the watermelon just before serving to keep the fruit crisp.
- Consume within a few hours for best freshness and texture of the watermelon.
- For a vegan alternative, replace the cheese mixture with coconut cream and shredded coconut, then add desired fruit toppings.
