Let's be honest: pizza is irresistibly delicious and perfect for sharing. But during hot summer days—or when you're mindful of your waistline (that gooey four-cheese slice isn't the best for weight loss goals)—it doesn't always hit the spot. That's where the internet's brilliant hack comes in: watermelon pizza, aka 'waterzza.' It's a light, refreshing snack that captures all the fun of pizza without the heaviness.
The concept is simple: swap out traditional dough for a thick slice of watermelon (3-4 cm thick for the perfect base). Top it with your choice of spreads like honey, yogurt, jam, fruit coulis, or even Nutella. Then pile on fresh fruits (berries or diced pieces), chocolate chunks, walnuts, pecans, flaked almonds, cranberries, or raisins. Endless combinations await! For extra indulgence, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Slice into wedges and enjoy.
Prefer savory? Use the watermelon base and load it up with feta, mozzarella, basil, red onion, olives, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bon appétit!
