Pro Tips Before You Start

Use chilled watermelon – It’s crispier and more refreshing when cold.

Serve fresh – This is best enjoyed right after assembly.

How to Make Watermelon Fruit Pizza

Step 1: Prep the Watermelon
Cut two round slices of watermelon, each about 1 inch thick.

Lay them flat on a large cutting board or serving plate.

Step 2: Mix the Yogurt Base
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.

Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Spread the “Sauce”
Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over each watermelon slice, just like you would sauce on a pizza.

Step 4: Add the Toppings
Top each yogurt-covered slice with a mix of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and kiwi.

Distribute evenly and artfully for the best visual appeal.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Use a sharp knife to cut each round into wedges.

Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing burst of fruit in every bite.

What to Serve It With

Iced green tea or lemonade

A light summer brunch with croissants and cheese

A refreshing fruit punch or mocktail

As a healthy dessert after a barbecue

Variations / Substitutions

Swap the base – Try pineapple rings or cantaloupe slices for a fun twist.

Use flavored yogurt – Strawberry or coconut yogurt adds more flavor.

Add mint – Fresh mint leaves bring a cool herbal note.

Drizzle with honey – For a touch of added sweetness.

Add crunch – Sprinkle granola or chopped nuts on top just before serving.

Storage & Leftovers

Best fresh – Serve right after assembly for best texture and flavor.

Short-term fridge – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Avoid freezing – The watermelon becomes too watery when thawed.

Make ahead – Prep the yogurt and fruit separately; assemble just before serving.

Slice only before serving – Keeps everything neater and less soggy.
