How To Make Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 325°F (162°C) and spray a pizza pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the cookie crust: Spread the sugar cookie dough into a ¼-inch thick circle on the prepared pizza pan. Bake the cookie crust for about 10 minutes.

3. Make the cream cheese spread: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. You'll want to mix the ingredients until they're nice and smooth.

4. Assemble: Once the cookie crust is cooled down, spread the cream cheese frosting over the entire surface of the cookie. Leave a small space at the top to make the crust. Top the frosted sugar cookie crust with your choice of fresh peaches, raspberries, and blueberries.

5. Serve: Slice the fruit pizza into about six slices and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Only bake the crust for about 10 minutes if you like your cookies underdone.
• Make sure you have a cooled crust before adding the cream cheese frosting.
• Use softened cream cheese to make the frosting easy to mix.
• You can use any fresh fruit you want, like mandarin oranges, kiwi, pineapple chunks, sliced strawberries, or fresh blueberries.
• Make homemade cookie dough instead of using store-bought cookie dough. This small batch sugar cookie recipe works great!
• Bake the cookie dough on a sheet pan and cut it into slices to make sugar cookie fruit pizza bars.

How To Store Fruit Pizza

In the fridge: Store the slices of the fruit pizza flat in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap. It will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.

In the freezer: If you're planning to freeze the fruit pizza, only freeze the cooled sugar cookie wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to 8 months. When you want to make the fruit pizza, let the cookie crust thaw in the fridge overnight, then assemble it right before serving.

FAQs About This Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza Recipe

Can I use canned fruit?

Even though fresh fruit is recommended, you can use canned fruit. Just make sure to completely drain the canned fruit so that the juices don't seep through and make the pizza soggy.

How do you keep fruit pizza from getting soggy?

The best way to keep the pizza from getting soggy is to assemble it as close to serving as possible and to use fresh fruit. Also, chill it in the fridge before you're ready to serve it instead of leaving it at room temperature.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. Bake the cookie crust and prepare the filling and store them separately in the fridge. When you're ready to serve the fruit pizza, spread the cream cheese frosting on top and add the fruit.
