Make this simple fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough for a quick, delicious dessert with a cream cheese frosting base.

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 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the sugar cookie dough package instructions.
  2. Press the refrigerated dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the cookie crust according to the package directions until lightly golden brown. Let the crust cool completely on the pan.
  4. While the crust cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
  6. Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  7. Arrange your mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer. You can create patterns or simply scatter the fruit.
  8. Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the frosting set.

Notes

  • For mini fruit pizzas, use pre-made sugar cookie dough rounds or cut the dough into individual circles before baking.
  • If you want a slightly tangier frosting, add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice along with the vanilla.
  • Pat any very wet fruit, like sliced peaches or pineapple, dry with a paper towel before placing it on the frosting to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
