Description

For a fun take on a classic summer entertaining dessert, try this simple strawberry shortcake watermelon pizza with store-bought or homemade whipped cream.

Ingredients

8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 center-cut slice of watermelon, about 1 inch thick
1 cup whipped cream, or to taste

Directions

1 Mix strawberries and sugar together in a medium bowl until the strawberries are thoroughly coated. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 10 to 20 minutes.
2 Cut the round watermelon slice into 8 wedges, and keep them together. Pat dry with a paper towel or clean dish towel.
3 Spray or spoon the whipped cream onto the center of the watermelon round; don't be afraid to pile it on, as the cream will sink under the weight of the strawberries.
4 Spoon the macerated strawberries and their juices over the whipped cream and serve immediately.
