# Expert Pointers:

01 -
  • No oven required means your kitchen stays cool even on the hottest days
  • The combinations are endless and it turns dessert into something fresh and light instead of heavy
  • Kids go absolutely wild for the pizza concept and happily eat fruit they might otherwise ignore
02 -
  • Watermelon releases water as it sits so this dessert needs to be eaten within an hour of assembling or the yogurt gets soupy underneath
  • A serrated knife works best for cutting clean wedges without dragging the toppings all over the place
  • Room temperature fruit releases more juices so keep everything chilled until the moment you start assembling
03 -
  • Chill your watermelon slice in the freezer for 10 minutes before starting it makes the whole thing extra refreshing
  • Use an offset spatula if you have one for spreading the yogurt it gives you that smooth professional look
  • If you want to prep ahead cut all the fruit and mix the yogurt the day before but assemble right before serving
