A refreshing and playful summer dessert featuring a thick watermelon slice topped with creamy yogurt frosting and fresh fruit toppings. Perfect for hot days, this light and colorful treat is quick to prepare and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round slice of watermelon, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick (seedless or baby watermelon preferred)
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 medium peeled kiwi, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup sliced strawberries
  • A few fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional extras: toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, or chia seeds

Instructions

  1. Cut a thick, round slice from the center of the watermelon, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Trim the rind neatly to create a flat, pizza-like crust. Pat dry gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Spread the yogurt frosting evenly over the watermelon slice, leaving a small border near the rind.
  4. Arrange sliced kiwi, strawberries, and blueberries over the frosting in a colorful pattern. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  5. Optionally, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, or chia seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
  6. Chill the watermelon pizza in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and keep it cool.

Notes

Pat the watermelon dry before frosting to prevent sogginess. Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best creamy texture; strain if too runny. Add fruit toppings just before serving to keep fresh. Can substitute coconut or almond yogurt and maple syrup for a dairy-free and vegan version. Chill before serving for best refreshment.
