Watermelon Pizza is a perfect dessert or snack to make with your kids. Top it with your favorite fruit and coconut flakes.
Today I’m in the kitchen with my daughter, Mia. We’re making some fabulous kid-friendly food. I love having Mia make things that boost her confidence in the kitchen. This recipe does just that! Mia and I bring you our Watermelon Pizza recipe!
The makings of this Watermelon Pizza all started at the grocery store. Mia picked out her ingredients; watermelon, mango, kiwi, blueberries, banana chips, and unsweetened coconut flakes. When we got home, I was under strict directions on how to cut the fruit. Basically, I was her sous chef.
All of our beautiful ingredients for Watermelon Pizza.
After I sliced and diced the fruit, it was time to assemble our watermelon pizza! I loved watching Mia make her pizza. She took pride in the food she was making. I loved watching her show her finished watermelon pizza to her daddy. She was SO proud of herself. This recipe definitely gave her a boost in her kitchen confidence!
What do you think, a foodie in the making? 😉
Cook’s Note:
- Don’t like the toppings we chose for our pizza? No problem! The beauty of this dish is that you can use your favorite fruit as the toppings.
- It’s important to use a seedless watermelon for the recipe. If you use a seeded one, they will be hidden beneath the “toppings”. This will make them harder for little ones to find while eating the watermelon pizza.
