Is there anything better than enjoying fresh fruit? It’s hard to think of anything more refreshing. Double down on your fruit game this summer by indulging in some easy desserts.
Fruit Pizza
Truth be told, fruit pizza might be as delicious as regular pizza. Grab a package of pre-made sugar cookie dough at the grocery store. Roll it out into a pizza-like shape, keeping it about 1/4 inch in thickness. Bake as directed. Let it cool down and add cream cheese or vanilla frosting on top. Next, add your toppings. Sliced strawberries, kiwi, and berries are all great options. Cut it up and serve! You won’t be disappointed.
Strawberry Sundae Bites
This simple recipe is a crowd favorite. You’ll need to cut the top off and core some large strawberries. Once that is done, fill each one with Reddi whip. Next, top them with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. A sundae wouldn’t be complete without a maraschino cherry on top, so add some of those as well. You’re ready to enjoy!

Chocolate and watermelon might not seem like the most likely companions, but rest assured, this combination will exceed your expectations. To create this delicious dessert, you only need three ingredients. Cube your watermelon into bite sized chunks. Stick a toothpick in each piece and freeze them. Melt some (preferably high- quality) chocolate. Once your watermelon is frozen, dip it in your melted chocolate and sprinkle each piece with sea salt. The salty/sweet contrast will have you coming back for more! You can find this recipe here.
