FAQs

Can I make this watermelon pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the cream cheese mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. However, it’s best to assemble the watermelon pizza just before serving to prevent the watermelon from becoming soggy.

Can I use a different sweetener than monk fruit?

Yes, you can use any sweetener of your choice, like stevia, honey, or agave. Just adjust the quantity to your taste preference.

Can I use a different fruit instead of berries?

Absolutely! Feel free to use any seasonal fruit like strawberries, peaches, or even tropical fruits such as pineapple or mango.

How do I make the cream cheese mixture smoother?

If the cream cheese mixture isn’t blending smoothly, try softening the cream cheese a little more or adding a splash more heavy cream to achieve the desired consistency.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, replace the cream cheese and heavy cream with vegan alternatives like coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.

Use a seedless watermelon for a smoother, easier eating experience. Make sure to cut a slice that is around 1 inch thick for the best base.
