Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl
  • hand mixer or whisk
  • large knife
  • cutting board
  • Serving platter
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • ═══ FOR THE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE ═══
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
  • ═══ FOR THE WATERMELON AND TOPPINGS ═══
  • 1 seedless watermelon
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries (sliced strawberries, diced peaches, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, halved cherries, etc.)
  • mint leaves or edible flowers (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and fresh squeezed orange juice, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix until completely smooth, with no lumps. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cream cheese glaze while you prepare the fruit.
  • Slice the seedless watermelon crosswise into rounds about 2 to 3 inches thick. Cut each round into wedges of desired size.
  • Spread a couple of tablespoons of the chilled cream cheese glaze onto each watermelon wedge, being careful not to let it run off the edges. Top with an assortment of sliced fruit such as strawberries, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, or halved cherries.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers if desired. Serve immediately. Any unused cream cheese glaze can be stored in the refrigerator and used as a fruit dip.

Notes

  • Tip 1: For best flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt—they provide a richer, creamier glaze.
  • Tip 2: The cream cheese glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Stir well before using again.
  • Tip 3: You can substitute the Greek yogurt with an equal amount of sour cream or mascarpone for a different taste.
  • Tip 4: To save time, prep all fruit toppings while the glaze chills, and use a melon baller to create uniform watermelon rounds.
  • Tip 5: Watermelon pizza pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or seafood for a refreshing summer meal.
