For a fun take on a classic summer entertaining dessert, try this simple strawberry shortcake watermelon pizza. You can use either store-bought or homemade whipped cream (or try a vegan whipped cream recipe). Either way, the key is to serve this right away as the whipped cream can melt pretty quickly.

Ingredients

8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 center-cut slice of watermelon, about 1 inch thick
1 cup whipped cream, or to taste

Steps:

Mix strawberries and sugar together in a medium bowl until the strawberries are thoroughly coated. Allow the strawberries to macerate for 10 to 20 minutes.
Cut the round watermelon slice into 8 wedges, and keep them together. Pat dry with a paper towel or clean dish towel.
Spray or spoon the whipped cream onto the center of the watermelon round; don't be afraid to pile it on, as the cream will sink under the weight of the strawberries.
Spoon the macerated strawberries and their juices over the whipped cream and serve immediately.
