Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für ein besonders luftiges Topping sollte die Sahne wirklich gut gekühlt sein, bevor sie aufgeschlagen wird. Die Wassermelonenscheibe vollständig trocken tupfen, damit die Creme nicht abrutscht. Am besten direkt vor dem Servieren dekorieren und schneiden, damit alles schön frisch bleibt.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine leichtere Variante kann der Frischkäse durch griechischen Joghurt ersetzt werden. Wer es extrafrisch mag, verfeinert das Topping mit Zitronen- oder Limettenzesten, oder gibt einen Hauch Honig darüber. Statt Minze passen auch Zitronenmelisse oder essbare Blüten als Garnitur.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Wassermelonenpizza auf einer großen Platte als Highlight für Sommerfeste, Picknicks oder Kindergeburtstage. Sie lässt sich wunderbar direkt mit der Hand essen und ist ein Hingucker auf jedem Buffet.
