    Watermelon pizza is a fresh delicious way to eat many fruits. I spread homemade cashew yogurt on mine.

    Watermelon Pizza & How To Make Homemade Cashew Cream Yogurt

    Watermelon Pizza & Homemade Cashew Yogurt

    Watermelon pizza is a spectacular invention. Just spread yogurt on slices of watermelon and dot with fresh fruit. Slice the watermelon into wheels and then cut those into fours. Spread the yogurt and dot with fruit and refrigerate. 

    I spread homemade cashew yogurt here, I share the recipe below. But you can use any yogurt.

    All About Homemade Cashew Yogurt

    Unlike my "faux" homemade coconut yogurt here, my homemade cashew yogurt recipe actually includes fermenting. Although feel free to not ferment and just eat it straight - the probotic I recommend you use is going to benefit you either way - fermenting will just heighten the yogurt-like texture and taste.

    The yogurt has a citrus bite and immunity boosters - thank you lemon juice and Baobab! This recipe has the healing properties of yogurt as well as the plant-based protein boost from the cashews.

    How to Make Homemade Yogurt

    To make this yogurt, simple soak raw cashews the night before in clean water. I usually use a two-cup measuring cup, pour in the cashews and fill until the nuts are submerged. Don't cover it, just put it in the refrigerator and go to sleep, haha.

    Before making yogurt the next day, be sure to clean your blender jar and any bowls or spoons with very hot water. Since the mixture will sit out at room temperature, you want the tools you use to be as close to sterile as you can get.

    Rinse the cashews, blend up all ingredients, pour in a bowl and either serve, store in refrigerator or ferment.

    To ferment, set the container in a darkish corner of your counter, covered loosely. I use a dishcloth. You can wait up to 12 hours, but I typically find I get enough fermented bite flavor after six. Put it tightly covered in refrigerator and chill before eating. It's much tastier chilled.

    When you are ready to eat, taste it for sweetness. If you are feeding children, they might need it sweeter so you can add maple syrup but that will yellow it.

    Choosing the Right Probiotic Capsule for Homemade Yogurt

    • Be sure the probiotic contains at least common fermenting bacteria lactobacillus.
    • Vegans need to be careful of lactobacillus to be sure it is not grown on a dairy source: I use this vegan brand of probiotic.
    • You want to make sure you have enough live bacteria. One packet in my recommended brand has about 50 billion CFU.

    Ingredients
     

    Watermelon Pizza

    • 1 watermelon
    • 2 cups yogurt
    • 2 cup fresh fruit

    Homemade Cashew Yogurt

    • 3 cups raw cashews soaked overnight
    • 1 ½ cup water
    • 4 tbsp lemon juice
    • 3 probiotic capsules
    • ½ tsp vanilla paste
    • 1 pinch of pink salt

    Instructions
     

    Prep

    • Soak cashews overnight in water in refrigerator. Strain and rinse before making yogurt.

    Make Yogurt

    • Clean blender jar and any bowls or spoons you intend to use very well with very hot water before making this yogurt.
    • Prepare the yogurt by blending cashews and 1 cup of water until creamy.
    • Store in a jar with loose cover to allow air, and put in a cool, dry, dark place
    • After 12 hours (some people wait longer) put lid on more securely and put it in the refrigerator.
    • You can also add a bit of maple syrup if you want to sweeten it, but don't do that until the setting out period is done to avoid bacterial growth.

    Make Watermelon Pizza

    • Cut watermelon into wheels and then quarters. Spread slices with yogurt and sprinkle with fruit!

    Storage

    • Watermelon slices prepared like this do not store. Eat right away.
