Hello friends! June to me means family get-togethers and picnics! The two recipes this month can be made ahead of time for any event! The first is Watermelon Water, and it’s sweet, refreshing, and guaranteed to be a hit! The second is a Fresh Fruit Pizza, which is easier to make than it sounds, and way more delicious! Try these out and experience for yourself the taste of summer!
Watermelon Water- makes up to 1 gallon
6 cups of seed free watermelon
2 tsp of fresh squeezed lime juice
3 cups cold water
Sugar to taste, if desired
1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain if desired, pouring into a glass full of ice.
Fresh Fruit Pizza- Serves up to 8
1 box refrigerated pie crust, room temperature
1.5 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 banana, thinly sliced
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup cream cheese frosting
1 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
1. Heat oven to 450. Remove pie crusts from pouches: unroll onto a clean work surface. Place 1 crust onto an ungreased cookie sheet or 12″ pizza pan. Place the second crust on top of the first crust. Press edges together with a fork or fingers. Bake 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for 25 minutes, or while you slice the fruit and prepare the chocolate.
2. Meanwhile, heat sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until warm. Add chocolate chips and cook until melted and smooth, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. To assemble pizza, place cooled, baked crust on a serving platter. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the baked crust. Arrange the sliced bananas and strawberries over the frosting. Drizzle with 1/2 cup of chocolate sauce. Cut into wedges and store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Now serving, Watermelon Water and Fresh Fruit Pizza!
