Tiktok Watermelon Pizza Recipe
This viral watermelon pizza recipe from TikTok is a no-bake, fruit-forward treat perfect for summer gatherings. The crisp watermelon base, topped with a whipped cream cheese "sauce" and a colorful mix of fresh fruit, delivers a light and refreshing twist on dessert pizza.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer or whisk
- Offset spatula or piping bag (optional)
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 ounces frozen whipped topping thawed
- 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 slice seedless watermelon 1 inch thick
- Assorted fresh fruit: strawberries blueberries, kiwi, mango, etc.
- Fresh mint leaves optional garnish
Instructions
- Make the creamy topping: Blend the softened cream cheese until it's silky smooth. Add in the thawed whipped topping, then stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until everything is evenly combined.
- Frost the watermelon: Lay the watermelon slice flat and spread the cream cheese mixture over the top. A piping bag or offset spatula works great for smooth application.
- Slice before decorating: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, divide the frosted watermelon into eight triangular pieces. This helps maintain clean slices and prevents topping mishaps.
- Add the fruit toppings: Adorn each wedge with your selection of fresh fruit. For a touch of brightness, add a mint leaf or two on top if you'd like.
Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Best enjoyed within 24 hours to avoid sogginess from the fruit and watermelon.
Best practice: Always slice the watermelon before adding toppings to keep everything neat and intact.
Avoid soggy results: Choose firm, fresh watermelon and avoid overloading with fruit.
Make-ahead tip: You can prep the cream cheese frosting the night before and store it chilled—just assemble everything right before serving.
