Prepare the Mango Cream:
Begin by peeling a ripe mango, then cut the flesh away from the pit and dice it into small cubes. Place the cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until you have a smooth, homogeneous puree. -
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine the spreadable cream cheese with the honey. Stir well to combine and create a smooth texture. Then, gently fold in the mango puree, mixing thoroughly with a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. -
Assemble the Watermelon Base:
Lay the watermelon on a cutting board and slice it into a thick, round piece about 2 cm in thickness. This will act as the base of your “pizza.” -
Spread the Mango Cream:
Using a spatula, spread the mango cream generously over the top of the watermelon slice, covering the entire surface evenly. -
Add Fresh Toppings:
Grate some fresh lime zest over the cream for a refreshing, zesty kick. Then, scatter the mixed berries, edible flowers, and fresh mint leaves on top for a burst of color and added flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Gently separate the “pizza” slices to serve, ensuring the toppings stay intact. Serve immediately for a fresh, healthy, and delicious dessert!
Notes:
- For a fun twist, you can add other fruits like kiwi or pineapple on top.
- This is a perfect treat for a summer gathering or as a light dessert after a heavy meal.
- The combination of creamy mango, sweet watermelon, and refreshing lime and mint makes this dessert a unique and delightful experience.
