Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Chef's knife For slicing watermelon and strawberries
  • 1 Electric mixer or whisk For whipping cream
  • 1 Large Serving Platter For assembling and presenting the fruit pizza
  • 1 Colander For washing berries

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 whole watermelon
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 6 ounces blackberries
  • 6 ounces blueberries
  • 1 pound strawberries
  • 1 sprig fresh mint
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Wash and prepare all berries: hull the strawberries and slice them, wash the blackberries and blueberries.
  • Wash the fresh mint sprig and gently pat dry.
  • Chill a large mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer (if using) or a whisk in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and add the vanilla extract.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  • Slice the watermelon horizontally into 1-inch thick rounds. Select a large, firm round to use as the pizza base.
  • Place the watermelon round on a large serving platter and pat the surface very dry with paper towels.
  • Spread a layer of the prepared whipped cream evenly over the watermelon round, leaving a small border if desired.
  • Artfully arrange the prepared fresh berries and sliced strawberries over the layer of whipped cream.
  • Garnish the fruit pizza with fresh mint leaves. Slice into wedges with a sharp knife and serve immediately.

Notes

1. Ensure your heavy whipping cream and mixing bowl are well-chilled before whipping for best results and stiff peaks. 2. Pat the watermelon slice very dry with paper towels before adding the topping to prevent the whipped cream from becoming watery. 3. Add the fruit and mint just before serving, as watermelon releases liquid over time. 4. For added flavor, you could lightly sweeten the whipped cream with powdered sugar or a touch of maple syrup, although the fruit provides natural sweetness. 5. Arrange the fruit in a colorful and appealing pattern for a beautiful presentation.
