Watermelon Pizza

Do you need a light yet sweet and juicy snack or dessert idea? This easy watermelon pizza is always a crowd pleaser.

Plus, kids love getting to make it their own by adding their own toppings!

While this treat makes a nice afternoon snack or a fun party food for a picnic or potluck, offering fresh fruit as a dessert option teaches kids that it doesn’t have to be filled with added sugar to still be a “treat!”.

How to Make Watermelon Pizza

Making this pizza is the fun part and a perfect way to get your kid in the kitchen. They’ll have fun selecting toppings and adding them to their pizza.

1. Slice the melon
   You want roughly 1-inch-thick round slabs.
2. Top
   Spread the yogurt over the watermelon and top with your choice of fruit, like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes, shredded coconut- the options are endless!
3. Slice and serve
   Once your summer pizza is done, slice it into 4-6 triangles are serve.

For an added Summer-y twist, you could even add chopped frozen berries and bananas instead! What a great way to cool off on a hot day!

How to Make Watermelon Pizza Even Better

Below, I’m sharing a few tips and ideas to make this delicious snack a hit with the entire family.

Make it saucy!
You don’t need a “sauce,” but if you’d like to include one, some great options are honey or agave syrup, honey glaze (honey mixed with a little water to make it more spreadable), plain nut or seed butter, plain or flavored yogurt, yogurt mixed with a little honey, or yogurt mixed with some peanut butter or other nut or seed butter.

Add some crunch!
Seeds, whole or chopped nuts, granola, and/or whole-grain crushed cereal make great and healthy additions to your fruity “pizza!”

Sweet and savory!
Don’t be afraid to try savory toppings as well! You can try a “Greek Salad Pizza” with some basil, Feta, and kalamata olives!

This could even make a great breakfast option! You could do most of the prep the night before and store your slices in a covered casserole dish in the fridge. If you want them to stay crispy and chewy, just save the “dry” ingredients like coconut, cereal, and raisins until you’re ready to serve!
