Watermelon Fruit Pizza Recipe

The great thing about making watermelon pizza, is that just like regular pizza you can mix it up with the toppings.

Watermelons have tonnes of health benefits like hydration (they are made of 92% water) and are a great low calorie option as well as containing plenty of vitamin C.

This recipe is also super easy to adjust, with very little preparation.

If you kids want to add extra blueberries, or one child doesn’t want blackberries and so on… it is super easy to adapt each slice for each family member’s custom preferences.

You can also make a whole tray of these watermelon pizza slices for the family summer barbecue or garden party.

Just keep them refrigerated for as close to the serving time as possible, because of the yoghurt and to keep everything nice and fresh.

Adaptations

Some people prefer to use cream cheese as the base topping instead of the greek yoghurt.

Some people like to drizzle a little chocolate or honey over the top. Give it a try, and see which way you prefer.

You can also add chopped strawberries, chopped kiwi, chopped pineapple.. there are all kinds of fruity toppings to mix and match this summer.

How to Cut Watermelon

To slice the watermelon into perfect triangles for your watermelon pizza slices, you are going to want to cut big thick wedges, of equal sizes.

The part closest to the middle of the watermelon is best for this, so cut off the ends and keep those for later.

This guide to slicing watermelon is helpful if you need a step by step.

Don’t cut your watermelon too far in advance, for maximum freshness and juiciness but if you do need to prepare the slices added of time then wrap your tray with cling film / Saran Wrap to keep it fresh.

What to do with the left over watermelon?

If you have watermelon left over from the edges, make some cubes and you can put together these easy red white and blue watermelon skewers.

Or put in an airtight container and use for a healthy snack at work

Watermelon Skewers

Use cubes of watermelon, white cheese such as feta cheese or goats cheese and a blackberry on top.

You can make these on skewers just like making a fruit kebab
