Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large watermelon slice about 1 inch thick, cut from the center of the melon
Cheese Mixture
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
Toppings
- Strawberries, sliced
- Blueberries
- Kiwi, sliced
- Fresh mint, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, whipped cream cheese, and honey. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Spread on Watermelon Base: Lay out the 1-inch thick watermelon slice flat on a serving plate. Spread the ricotta and cream cheese mixture evenly over the top surface of the watermelon slice.
- Slice the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon pie into 8 equal triangular slices, like cutting a pizza, ensuring each slice has a good amount of cheese mixture on top.
- Add Fruit Toppings: Decorate each watermelon slice with fresh sliced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi pieces. Arrange the fruit attractively on top of the cheese spread.
- Garnish: Sprinkle shredded coconut evenly across the slices and place fresh mint leaves on top for an added burst of flavor and color.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the watermelon fruit pizza right away to maintain the freshness and juiciness of the ingredients.
Notes
- Use a ripe, seedless watermelon for the best texture and sweetness.
- Keep the watermelon chilled before serving for a refreshing experience.
- Feel free to substitute or add other seasonal fruits like raspberries or blackberries.
- The cream cheese mixture can be prepared ahead and kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy.
