Description

A refreshing and delightful summer dessert featuring thick watermelon slices topped with homemade whipped cream and an assortment of fresh fruits, creating a colorful and healthy ‘watermelon pizza’.

Ingredients

Scale

Watermelon Base

  • 1 seedless watermelon

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 cup (237ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons (14g) powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit Toppings

  • Assorted fruits (e.g., berries, kiwi, grapes, mango) for topping

Instructions

  1. Slice the Watermelon: Cut off one end of the seedless watermelon to create a flat surface and then slice the watermelon into rounds about 1-2 inches thick. Depending on the size of the watermelon, you should get approximately 6 slices suitable for serving.
  2. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream holds its shape firmly without drooping.
  3. Frost the Watermelon Slices: Spread an even layer of the freshly whipped cream over each watermelon slice, covering the top surface completely to mimic a pizza base with topping.
  4. Add the Fruit Toppings: Decorate the whipped cream-covered watermelon slices with your choice of assorted fresh fruits, arranging them aesthetically for a colorful and vibrant presentation.
  5. Serve Promptly: It is best to serve the watermelon pizzas within 4 hours to maintain freshness and prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy, making it the perfect refreshing treat on a hot day.

Notes

  • This fruit pizza is a light and refreshing dessert option, ideal for summer gatherings, picnics, or healthy treats.
  • Customize your toppings with seasonal fruits or berries for extra flavor and color.
  • For a lighter option, you can use whipped coconut cream instead of heavy cream to make it dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
  • Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving to keep the whipped cream stable and the watermelon fresh.
