This Watermelon Pizza Recipe is the perfect way to make an easy summer dessert. A slice of watermelon is topped with cream cheese frosting and your favorite fruit!
This watermelon pizza slice is such a great summertime dessert! It’s a refreshing snack and a great way to cool off on a hot summer day! This recipe combines two of my favorite things: easy recipes and the sweet flavor of juicy watermelon.
I know in the summer, I don’t want something heavy like cake, so a watermelon pizza is great when you have a sweet tooth, but want something light!
And of course, the fact that this dessert is a no bake dessert is a win!
This is a delicious way to enjoy fruit with brunch recipes, when you want a summery treat on a hot day, something special for someone on special diets, or even as a fun way to enjoy a healthy breakfast or healthy dessert.
This watermelon pizza is topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting. But if you want to change it up and make something a little lighter, feel free to swap it out with some vanilla greek yogurt , fruit dip, coconut cream or make some homemade whipped cream!

Let’s make the watermelon pizza!
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Prepare the fruit for decorating the pizza. Make sure fruit is washed, dried, and sliced (if needed).
Pat the watermelon slices with a paper towel to help the cream cheese mixture stick. Use a ripe watermelon and with a sharp knife cut thick rounds from the center of the watermelon. Place your rounds slice on a serving platter.
Evenly spread cream cheese mixture over the watermelon slices. Decorate as desired with fruit.
Melt milk chocolate chips with coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. Drizzle over fruit. Garnish with mint leaves.
Refrigerate your watermelon pizza until ready to serve, as it’s best if served immediately. When you are ready to serve, you can cut your round slice into watermelon wedges aka: pizza slices.
