Make a quick and colorful fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough and a simple cream cheese frosting. This is an easy fruit 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 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • Assorted fresh fruit for topping (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the sugar cookie dough package instructions, usually 350°F (175°C).
  2. Press the refrigerated dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the sugar cookie crust according to the package directions until lightly golden brown around the edges. This usually takes 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookie crust cool completely on the pan.
  4. While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese 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 frosting is light and fluffy.
  6. Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface, leaving a small border like a pizza crust.
  7. Arrange your sliced fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting. You can create patterns or simply cover the surface.
  8. Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the frosting set.

Notes

  • For a mini fruit pizza option, press the dough into small circles on a cookie sheet and bake individually. Adjust baking time slightly if needed.
  • Use a mix of brightly colored fruits for the best visual appeal. Slicing strawberries thin helps them lay flat.
  • If you want a slightly tangier frosting, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice along with the vanilla.
