Fun and Fruity Watermelon Pizza
Ingredients:
For the Base:
1 large round slice of watermelon (about 1 inch thick)
For the Toppings:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Watermelon Base:
Cut a large, round slice from the middle of the watermelon, about 1 inch thick. This will serve as the "pizza" base.
Place the watermelon slice on a large cutting board or serving platter.
2. Mix the Yogurt Topping:
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with honey if using, to add a touch of sweetness.
Spread the yogurt evenly over the watermelon slice, leaving a small border around the edges to resemble a pizza crust.
3. Add the Fruit Toppings:
Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple chunks on top of the yogurt layer.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top if using.
4. Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Using a sharp knife, cut the watermelon pizza into wedges, just like a regular pizza.
Serve immediately for a refreshing and healthy summer treat!
Optional Variations:
You can use other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, peaches, or mangoes depending on your kids' preferences and seasonal availability.
For a bit of crunch, sprinkle some granola on top.
Drizzle a little chocolate syrup or a few mini chocolate chips for an extra special treat.
This watermelon pizza is not only fun and delicious but also packed with vitamins and hydration, making it a perfect summer dish for kids!
