Make a quick fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough for the base and a simple cream cheese frosting. This recipe is fast and great for gatherings.
3 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookie crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan.
While the crust cools, prepare the frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until smooth.
Once the crust is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the entire surface.
Arrange the mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer. You can create patterns or simply cover the surface.
Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a mini fruit pizza version, use pre-made cookie dough portions or cut the main dough into small circles before baking.
Pat any very wet fruit, like sliced strawberries, lightly with a paper towel before placing them on the frosting to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
You can use canned fruit, drained well, if fresh fruit is not available.
