Print Recipe

A quick and festive no-bake dessert featuring a watermelon slice base topped with a whipped cream cheese spread and fresh berries, perfect for summer parties and refreshing snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large seedless watermelon slice, about 1-inch thick, cut into a large circle or wedge
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (about 150g) hulled and sliced strawberries
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh whole raspberries
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut a thick, round slice of seedless watermelon about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Trim edges if needed to make a clean circle or wedge shape. Pat dry gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until smooth, creamy, and slightly fluffy.
  3. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the watermelon slice, leaving about a ½-inch border to mimic a pizza crust edge.
  4. Arrange the blueberries, sliced strawberries, and whole raspberries in a patriotic pattern over the cream cheese. Tuck in fresh mint leaves for garnish if desired.
  5. Optionally chill the watermelon pizza in the fridge for 10 minutes to set the cream cheese and cool the fruit. Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

Pat the watermelon dry to prevent sogginess and cream cheese sliding. Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth spreading. Serve soon after assembling or chill briefly for best texture. Variations include using dairy-free cream cheese and maple syrup for vegan option, adding nuts or herbs for flavor twists.
