Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 ripe, seedless watermelon (cut into 1-inch thick round slice)

Creamy Layer

  • Greek yogurt or whipped cream (enough to spread generously over watermelon slice)

Fresh Fruit Toppings

  • Strawberries (sliced)
  • Blueberries
  • Raspberries
  • Kiwis (sliced) or mangoes (cut into chunks)

Garnishes (Optional)

  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Honey or maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • Chopped nuts or coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon Base: Cut a thick, round 1-inch slice from a ripe, seedless watermelon. Trim the edges to form a perfect circle if desired. Gently pat the watermelon slice dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture that could cause toppings to slide off.
  2. Spread the Creamy Layer: Evenly spread a generous layer of Greek yogurt or whipped cream over the watermelon slice. This creamy layer acts like the pizza sauce, adding flavor and helping the toppings adhere.
  3. Arrange the Fruit Toppings: Artistically arrange fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi slices, and mango chunks over the yogurt base. Mix colors and shapes to create an eye-catching pattern.
  4. Garnish and Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle fresh mint leaves on top for a refreshing aroma and garnish. Optionally, add chopped nuts or coconut flakes for crunch and drizzle lightly with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Choose a firm watermelon for easier slicing and better texture.
  • Pat dry the watermelon slice well to prevent soggy toppings and sliding fruit.
  • Use fresh, ripe, and seasonal fruits to enhance flavor and appearance.
  • Arrange fruits with contrasting colors and sizes for maximum visual appeal.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy optimal freshness and juiciness.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it deteriorates watermelon texture.
  • Store leftovers by wrapping tightly and keep base and toppings separate if possible; consume within one day.
