Print Recipe

A refreshing and visually stunning summer dessert featuring watermelon slices as the crust, topped with creamy Greek yogurt and a mix of fresh berries. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for warm afternoons and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large seedless watermelon, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • A handful fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped or whole for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the seedless watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Cut off the rind carefully, leaving a thin green border if desired for a crust effect.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir or whisk until smooth and lightly fluffy.
  3. Spread the creamy yogurt mixture evenly over each watermelon slice, leaving a small border around the edges. The yogurt layer should be about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Top each watermelon pizza with a mixed handful of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries (about 2 tablespoons per slice). Sprinkle chia seeds if using, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  5. Serve immediately for best freshness or chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to let flavors meld and yogurt set slightly before serving.

Notes

Use ripe watermelon with a creamy yellow spot for best sweetness. Chill ingredients before assembling for a refreshing taste. Whisk yogurt with honey and vanilla for a creamy texture. Handle watermelon slices gently to avoid breaking. Prepare watermelon slices up to a day ahead and add toppings just before serving to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
