Ingredients:
- 1 centre-cut slice of watermelon, 1 to 2 inches thick
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- 1 tablespoon coloured candy sprinkles
Method:
Start by cutting a slice of watermelon, about 1 to 2 inches thick, from the centre of the fruit. This will be your ‘pizza base’.
Pat the watermelon slice dry with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture.
In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and half-and-half.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate sauce over the watermelon slice, leaving a small rim around the edge to mimic a pizza crust.
While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the multi-coloured sprinkles over the top.
Place the watermelon pizza in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Once set, slice the watermelon pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
