Watermelon Pizza

Watermelon is one of the things we look forward to most in the summer. My boys can demolish an entire watermelon by themselves in a single day so I am constantly picking one or two up when I’m shopping.

They love it any way I make it whether I cut into wedges for them and their friends or take the extra time to cut the watermelon into cubes for a quick and refreshing watermelon salad snack.

And if there’s any left, I’m all about the Watermelon Mojitos.

What Kind of Watermelon Do You Need?

I think seedless watermelons are the best for watermelon pizza. Some people don’t mind eating seeds but if you’re making this for a party, err on the side of caution and purchase a seedless watermelon.

There will usually still be a few stray seeds in there and that’s totally fine.

What Kind of Fruit Do You Put On a Watermelon Pizza?

Honestly the sky is the limit here:

berries including raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries
kiwis
cherries
dragonfruit
peaches
nectarines
plums

You want to stay clear of fruit that browns such as bananas and apples.

Cream Cheese Glaze

I love this simple cream cheese glaze or frosting. It’s made with just a handful of ingredients and is the perfect complement to the fresh fruit.

Make a double batch and serve as a fruit dip! Seriously delicious!

Here’s what you’ll need:

cream cheese
Greek yogurt
fresh squeezed orange juice
powdered sugar

How To Make the Cream Cheese Glaze

beat cream cheese until smooth
add Greek yogurt and orange juice and beat until smooth
add powdered sugar and mix until completely smooth
cover and chill until ready to use

Tips for the Best Watermelon Pizza

Cut the watermelon slice into wedges BEFORE putting on the cream cheese glaze. If you put it on first, you’ll end up needing to clean your knife before each cut and it just looks messier.
Use a variety of fruit in different colors for the most impact.
Use some fruit that needs to be cut, like peaches, dragonfruit, kiwi and some fruit that can be placed on the fruit pizza whole, such as , blueberries, raspberries, etc.
