Description
Make this simple fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough for a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert with a creamy 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
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges recommended)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pan to form a large cookie crust.
- 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.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan. This cooling step is important for the frosting.
- While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top, leaving a small border for the crust edge.
- Arrange your mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting. You can create patterns or simply scatter the fruit evenly.
- Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the frosting set slightly.
Notes
- For mini fruit pizzas, press small amounts of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Use a small round cookie cutter to shape the baked cookies before frosting.
- If you want a thicker, richer frosting, reduce the milk to 2 tablespoons.
- Use fruits that are in season for the best flavor. Pat any very wet fruit, like sliced peaches, lightly with a paper towel before placing them on the frosting.
