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! I must admit, I’m not the biggest fan of watermelon (or fruit, for that matter), but making it like this will get me to eat it! The first time I tried watermelon with whipped cream? GAME CHANGER!

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!

Ingredient Notes

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.

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
Even peaches, apples, bananas will work!

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.
You could even use Greek Yogurt – or mix yogurt into the whipped cream or any of the frostings so it has a little extra protein.

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.

How to make Watermelon Pizza

Once you have your watermelon slices it’s time to add your “sauce” all over the top.
Top with your favorite fruits and maybe some fresh mint for garnish.

Expert Tips

To pick the best watermelon, look for the large creamy yellow field spot. Those are the best ones.
It’s best to use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon – be careful!
You could even add some chopped pecans for crunch, or make it a savory watermelon pizza by using some feta cheese.
