Easy Watermelon Pizza
Looking for a simple yet satisfying lighter dessert for summer? My fruit pizza with watermelon slices is the way to go. It’s perfect for parties – make the whole watermelon into pizza slices – or make it as a single dessert when that sugar craving hits!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Super simple to make – it’s basically just fruit and whipped cream!
- Vary the recipe to your tastes with different “sauces” and “toppings”
- Perfect for a party – it’s so pretty everyone will love it!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Watermelon: It’s best to buy a seedless watermelon for this recipe. You can buy regular size ones or mini watermelons – your choice.
- Fresh Whipped Cream: It’s easy to make homemade whipped cream and this is the “pizza sauce” for the dessert.
- Fruit Toppings: Choose your favorite fruits to act as the pizza toppings.
What do I use for sauce?
I love using freshly whipped cream which is easy to make with heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. If you want something more stable, or something richer, here are some ideas:
- Stable Whipped Cream Frosting will last longer then regular whipped cream.
- Cream Cheese Frosting adds a little more flavor to the pizza sauce.
- Vanilla Buttercream makes it an extra sweet dessert fruit pizza.
Topping Variations
The best part about my Watermelon Pizza recipe is that you can use what you love. Think about color when choosing fruit. Luckily, Raley’s O-N-E Market has a large produce section with lots to choose from.
Here are some ideas for different fruits to use:
- Berries: Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Blackberries
- Dragonfruit
- Mango
- Kiwi
- Cherries (pitted and cut in half)
- Grapes (whole or halved)
- Pineapple
How to Cut a Watermelon into Pizza Slices
- Cut off the end of the watermelon. Then slice large rounds – be careful it doesn’t roll. It’s best to use a cutting board and a large knife.
- Slice the rounds about 1-2 inches thick.
- Then it’s time to make your watermelon into pizzas!
How to make Watermelon Pizza
- Slice your Watermelon (as detailed above).
- Make your whipped cream (or use whipped topping).
- Frost the slices with whipped cream, then top with fruit as desired.
FAQs
Use seedless watermelon for ease – any size.
Fresh whipped cream is delicious, or use whipped topping or one of my frosting recipes.
Yes! Just buy a large watermelon. Frost it before the party and add the fruit – or let people make their own!
I don’t recommend assembling this the day before because fruit tends to weep overnight.
