Ingredients
  

1 medium-sized seedless watermelon

1 cup light cream cheese, softened at room temperature

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

1 banana, sliced into rounds

¼ cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

¼ cup shredded coconut (optional for added texture)

¼ cup sliced almonds or walnuts (optional for added crunch)

Drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional for a gourmet touch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Base: Begin by slicing the watermelon into 1-inch thick rounds. Select the round that has a vibrant color and shape that appeals to you—this will serve as your pizza base.

    Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened light cream cheese, honey (or agave syrup), and pure vanilla extract. Using a spatula or a whisk, blend the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Assemble the Pizza: Place the chosen watermelon round on a large serving platter. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the top of the watermelon, ensuring an even coating that reaches the edges.

        Add Your Toppings: Begin layering by sprinkling the mixed berries evenly across the cream cheese layer. Next, artfully arrange the banana slices over the berries. Follow this by scattering the chopped mint leaves for that refreshing hint, and if desired, the shredded coconut and sliced almonds or walnuts to add delightful crunch and flavor.

          Finishing Touches: For an extra burst of flavor, gently drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the entire pizza. This sweet and tangy addition will elevate the dish and beautifully complement the fresh fruits.

            Slice & Serve: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the watermelon pizza into wedges, mimicking the style of traditional pizza slices. Serve immediately for the best flavor and freshness. Gather your friends and family, and enjoy this refreshing summer treat!
