Fruit Pizza Recipe Sugar Cookie Easy Dessert Guide
A soft sugar cookie crust topped with creamy frosting and fresh fruit creates a colorful, easy dessert pizza that’s perfect for summer gatherings, parties, and quick homemade treats.
Ingredients
- Sugar Cookie Crust
- 16 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough softened
- Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Fruit Toppings
- 1½ cups strawberries sliced
- 2 kiwis peeled and sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- 9 oz mandarin oranges drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Press cookie dough evenly into a greased pizza pan.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
- Let the crust cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Spread frosting evenly over cooled crust.
- Arrange fresh fruit on top in desired pattern.
- Chill slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Cool the crust completely before adding frosting. Even slight warmth will melt the frosting and affect the final texture.
- Pat fruit dry with paper towels before placing on top. This helps prevent a soggy sugar cookie crust.
- Use fresh fruit only. Frozen fruit releases too much moisture and will ruin the structure of the fruit pizza.
- Adjust sweetness if needed. If your fruit is very sweet, reduce powdered sugar slightly in the frosting for better balance.
- Slice fruit into small pieces so every bite has a mix of flavors and is easier to cut and serve.
- Assemble close to serving time for the best texture and appearance.
- Chill briefly before serving to help the frosting set and make slicing cleaner.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days, though the crust will soften over time.
- Not freezer-friendly. The texture of the fruit and frosting will not hold after freezing.
