Watermelon Pizza with Cream Cheese and Fresh Berries Recipe

Introduction

Watermelon pizza is a refreshing and visually stunning treat perfect for hot days or any time you want a healthy dessert. Using a thick slice of watermelon as the base, it’s topped with a creamy, sweet mixture and fresh berries for a burst of flavor.

A round watermelon is cut into eight triangular slices arranged in a circle on a wooden board. Each slice has three visible layers: a thin outer green rind, a thick bright red flesh in the middle, and white cream drizzled in stripes on top of the red layer. Scattered on each slice are fresh blueberries and red raspberries, along with small pieces of green mint leaves. Around the watermelon slices, some berries and mint leaves are scattered on the board. A small white bowl with extra raspberries is placed near the top right corner on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 slice Watermelon (a round disc, 1 inch thick)

  • 1/2 cup Blueberries
  • 1/2 cup Raspberries
  • Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Slice the watermelon at its thickest part into a 1-inch-thick round disc. Set aside the rest of the watermelon for another use.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sweetener, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and adjust sweetness to your preference.
  3. Step 3: Spread, drizzle, or pipe the cream mixture evenly over the watermelon slice. Arrange the blueberries and raspberries on top, and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
  4. Step 4: Cut the watermelon “pizza” into 8 slices and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut yogurt and coconut cream.
  • Try adding other fresh fruits like kiwi or strawberries for extra color and taste.
  • Use a piping bag to create decorative designs with the cream mixture for a fancy presentation.

Storage

Watermelon pizza is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store leftovers covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep in mind the watermelon may become watery and the cream mixture could lose its texture. Reheat is not recommended.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare watermelon pizza in advance?

It’s best to assemble the watermelon pizza just before serving to maintain the freshness of the fruit and texture of the cream topping.

What can I use if I don’t have Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend?

You can substitute with powdered sugar, regular sugar, or another low-calorie sweetener of choice, adjusting the amount to taste.
