Description
Make this simple fruit pizza using store-bought sugar cookie dough for a quick dessert base, topped with a sweet cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16.5 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 cups mixed fresh fruit (like strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookie crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. You want it set but not overly browned.
- Let the sugar cookie crust cool completely on the pan. This step is important for the frosting.
- While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese fruit pizza frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to the cream cheese. Beat until the frosting is light and creamy.
- Once the cookie crust is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the entire surface.
- Arrange your mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer. You can create patterns or simply cover the surface.
- Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For mini fruit pizzas, use pre-made cookie dough circles or cut out individual rounds before baking.
- If you want a thicker frosting, reduce the milk amount slightly.
- Use fruits that are in season for the best flavor. Pat any very wet fruit, like sliced peaches, dry before placing them on the frosting.
- You can make this a low-fat dessert by using light cream cheese, but the texture will change slightly.
