Ingredients to make this Watermelon Pizza Dessert:
2 thick slices of seedless watermelon
1 (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Fruit for decorating: kiwi, strawberries, blueberries
This recipe is healthier and lighter, using the watermelon instead of cookie dough crust. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Pat the watermelon slices with a paper towel to help the cream cheese mixture stick.
How do you soften cream cheese? The easiest way to soften cream cheese is to set it out at room temperature for a few hours, but this requires preparation, which can sometimes be challenging. You can also soften cream cheese in the microwave by heating it in 15-second intervals until it is softened.
So get the cream cheese softened and mix it with powdered sugar and vanilla in a blender until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the watermelon slices.
Decorate the pizza with the fruit. Then, melt milk chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. Drizzle over fruit.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
This dish is best served immediately, but it can be covered with foil and refrigerated for 1-2 days. The taste might be affected, though.
