Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 large watermelon slice (about 1 inch thick, cut from the center of the melon)
Cheese Mixture
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup whipped cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon honey
Toppings
- Strawberries, sliced
- Blueberries
- Kiwi, sliced
- Fresh mint, for garnish

Instructions
- Make the Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, whipped cream cheese, and honey. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Prepare the Watermelon Base: Take the large watermelon slice and place it on a serving board or plate. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the watermelon slice.
- Cut the Watermelon Pizza: Carefully cut the watermelon slice with the cheese topping into 8 equal triangular slices, resembling pizza slices.

Notes
- Use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon cleanly without crushing the fruit.
- You can substitute whipped cream cheese with regular cream cheese if preferred.
- Feel free to add other fresh fruits like raspberries or blackberries as toppings.
- Best served immediately to keep the watermelon crisp and prevent the cheese mixture from making it soggy.
- This dish is naturally gluten-free and works well as a light, healthy dessert or snack.
