A refreshing summer dessert featuring a thick watermelon slice as the crust, topped with creamy Greek yogurt and a vibrant mix of fresh berries. This no-cook recipe is quick, easy, and perfect for hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 thick round slice of seedless watermelon (about 1 to 1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt, preferably full-fat or 2%
  • 1 cup (150 grams) mixed fresh berries (blueberries, sliced strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped or whole
  • Zest or juice from half a lime (optional)
  • Chia seeds or crushed nuts (optional, e.g., sliced almonds, pistachios)

Instructions

  1. Slice a round, seedless watermelon about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Keep the slice as round and even as possible and place it on a cutting board.
  2. Spread about 1 cup (240 ml) of thick Greek yogurt evenly over the top of the watermelon slice using a spoon or offset spatula, covering the entire surface without dripping over the edges.
  3. Rinse mixed berries gently under cold water and pat dry. Slice larger strawberries into halves or quarters. Optionally, toss berries in a small bowl with a teaspoon of honey and a bit of lime zest or juice.
  4. Arrange the berries artfully on top of the yogurt layer, covering it generously.
  5. Sprinkle chopped fresh mint leaves over the top. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired. Add a sprinkle of chia seeds or crushed nuts for crunch, if using.
  6. Slice the watermelon pizza into wedges like a regular pizza using a sharp knife with a gentle sawing motion to avoid squishing the fruit. Serve chilled immediately.

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt for best results; if using regular yogurt, strain it to thicken. Keep watermelon chilled before assembling to prevent sogginess. Assemble toppings just before serving. Variations include tropical fruits, herbal garnishes, nut toppings, and vegan substitutions.
