Make this easy fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough for a fast, delicious dessert topped with 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
  • Assorted fresh fruit for topping (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pan to form a pizza crust shape.
  3. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. You want the center set but not overly browned.
  4. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan. This cooling step is important for the frosting.
  5. While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  6. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to the cream cheese. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
  7. Once the sugar cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top, leaving a small border like a traditional pizza crust.
  8. Arrange your sliced fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting. You can create patterns or simply cover the surface.
  9. Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the frosting set firmly.

Notes

  • For mini fruit pizzas, press small amounts of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Adjust frosting amounts accordingly.
  • If you want a slightly tangier frosting, substitute 1 tablespoon of the milk with fresh lemon juice.
  • Use fruit that is dry; patting berries or sliced fruit with a paper towel prevents the frosting from becoming watery.
