Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or homemade sugar cookie dough, if preferred)
For the Cream Cheese Topping:
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon orange juice (optional, for added flavor)
For the Fruit Topping:
-
1 cup strawberries, sliced
-
1 cup blueberries
-
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
-
1 orange, peeled and segmented
-
1 banana, sliced
-
¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
-
Honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Crust
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Roll out the sugar cookie dough onto a baking sheet or pizza pan, pressing it into a circular shape (about 12 inches in diameter). You can also line the pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
Bake the dough according to package instructions or until golden brown, usually 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking. The cookie crust should be firm but soft in the center once baked.
-
Allow the cookie crust to cool completely before adding the toppings.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Topping
-
While the cookie crust cools, make the cream cheese topping by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange juice (if using) in a bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 3: Prepare the Fruit
-
Slice the strawberries, kiwi, banana, and any other fruit you are using.
-
Arrange the sliced fruit in a colorful pattern over the cream cheese topping. You can create fun designs, or simply place the fruit in a random, beautiful pattern—there’s no wrong way to do it!
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
-
After arranging the fruit, sprinkle the top with shredded coconut (if using) for extra texture and flavor.
-
Drizzle the entire fruit pizza with a small amount of honey or maple syrup, if desired, to add a touch of sweetness.
-
Slice into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make Ahead – You can prepare the cookie crust and cream cheese topping the night before. Just store them separately in the fridge, and assemble the pizza with fresh fruit in the morning.
-
Use Seasonal Fruit – This fruit pizza can be customized for any season. Use berries in the summer, apples and pears in the fall, or citrus fruits in the winter. The options are endless!
-
Add Texture – For extra crunch, sprinkle some granola or chopped nuts on top.
-
Use Greek Yogurt – If you want a lighter topping, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a tangy twist.
-
Cold Crust Option – For a chilled version, place the dough in the fridge before baking it. This will create a firmer, colder crust when it’s ready to top.
