Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für optimale Ergebnisse sollte die Wassermelone gut gekühlt und trocken getupft werden, bevor der Belag aufgetragen wird. Die Creme lässt sich am besten mit gekühlter Sahne zubereiten, damit sie luftig und standfest bleibt. Die Beeren erst kurz vor dem Servieren dekorieren, damit die Farben brillant und frisch erscheinen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine leichtere Variante kann griechischer Joghurt anstelle von Frischkäse verwendet werden. Wer mag, verfeinert die Creme mit etwas Zitronenabrieb oder einem Hauch Honig. Profitiere von saisonalen Beeren oder ergänze das Topping mit anderen Früchten wie Kiwischeiben – ganz nach Geschmack und Anlass.

Serviervorschläge

Am schönsten schmeckt die Wassermelonen-Pizza frisch angerichtet auf einer großen Platte – ideal für sommerliche Buffets, Picknicks oder Barbecues. Die bunten Stücke lassen sich ganz unkompliziert aus der Hand essen und sorgen garantiert für gute Laune am Tisch.
