Make the creamy topping: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer (or whisk vigorously by hand) until smooth and creamy. In a separate small bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Assemble the watermelon pizza: Spread an even layer of the creamy topping over each watermelon round, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edge, resembling a pizza crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries decoratively over the creamy topping.
⏱️ 5 min - 4
Garnish and serve: If desired, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves and shredded coconut over the berry-topped watermelon pizzas. Slice each watermelon pizza into wedges, just like a traditional pizza, and serve immediately. This dessert is best enjoyed fresh.
