What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 round slice large seedless watermelon cut 1 inch thick
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut toasted
- 1 tbsp honey for drizzling
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Watermelon Base
Cut a large one inch thick round slice from the center of a seedless watermelon to create the pizza base. Pat the surface gently dry with a paper towel to help the yogurt stick better.
Step 2: Spread the Yogurt
Spread the vanilla Greek yogurt evenly over the watermelon slice leaving a small border around the edge just like a pizza. Use the back of a spoon to create a smooth and even layer.
Step 3: Add the Toppings
Scatter the fresh blueberries and raspberries evenly across the yogurt topped watermelon. Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the berries for added texture and tropical flavor.
Step 4: Finish and Slice
Drizzle honey lightly over the entire pizza for added sweetness and shine. Use a sharp knife to slice the watermelon pizza into six wedges and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
