Best Watermelon Pizza Recipe

When you think of pizza, a few things may come to mind. You may picture a simple but classic thin-crust cheese pizza. Or, you may be more of a deep-dish person, so you may envision that instead. It's possible that you also consider all of the tasty, savory toppings that can complement a pizza. Of all the things you may think of when it comes to pizza, watermelon may not be one of them — but this recipe is here to change that right now.

Thanks to its sweetness, juiciness, and subtle crunch, watermelon is a perfectly refreshing treat that tastes best during the summertime. Recipe developer Susan Olayinka's watermelon pizza recipe not only enhances the natural flavors of the watermelon, but it adds the extra appeal of Greek yogurt, honey, and additional fruit. "This is definitely a great summer dessert — especially for those who want to watch their sugar," Olayinka says of the recipe. "Pizza can be healthy, too!" Unlike typical desserts, this watermelon pizza uses minimal added or processed sugar and instead relies on the natural sweetness of the fruit.

There's nothing more refreshing than a slice of watermelon, so why not take it up a notch and turn your next watermelon into a beautiful, healthy, and delightful dessert? Give this watermelon pizza a try — something tells us it will be a huge hit at your next barbecue or party. It's quite a fun recipe to serve when you're looking to serve something truly unique.

Once you have your ingredients all sorted out, you can go ahead and get started with your pizza "sauce." For this watermelon pizza recipe, you'll simply need Greek yogurt and honey. Combine the yogurt and honey together in a bowl, and then you can set it aside. Not only is greek yogurt healthy, but it will add the perfect amount of creaminess to your watermelon pizza. Alone, Greek yogurt isn't very sweet, but that's where the honey comes in. By adding honey to the yogurt, you'll add a little bit of sweetness without being overbearing and without adding processed sugar. Not to mention, the colors of all the ingredients will really pop.

After you've finished slicing up your fruit toppings, you can get started on assembling your watermelon pizza. Grab your watermelon slice, and lay it onto a plate, cutting board, or serving platter. Then, grab your Greek yogurt and honey mixture, and carefully spread it across the top of your watermelon slice, as you would spread sauce on top of a pizza crust. Finally, grab your sliced fruit toppings, blueberries, blackberries, and red currents, and place them across the top of your pizza evenly. Try to ensure that each slice of watermelon pizza will have an equal distribution of fruit toppings, because everyone wants a taste of every bit of this!
