Make a quick and colorful fruit pizza using store-bought sugar cookie dough and a simple cream cheese frosting. This is a fun, no-fuss dessert perfect for any gathering.

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 (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the cookie crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. You want a firm base for your fruit pizza.
  4. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan. This step is important so the frosting does not melt.
  5. While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the cookie crust is fully cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the entire surface, leaving a small border if you like a crust edge.
  7. Arrange your mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting. You can create patterns or simply scatter the fruit for a colorful look.
  8. Chill the finished fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the frosting set up nicely.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, try making mini fruit pizzas using pre-cut sugar cookie dough rounds instead of one large pizza.
  • If you want a slightly tangier frosting, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture.
  • When arranging fruit, place firmer fruits like kiwi slices down first, then top with softer berries.
  • This easy fruit dessert looks best when you use fruit with contrasting colors.
