Fruit Pizza
Fruit Pizza combines a soft, slightly chewy sugar cookie crust with a creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting and a colorful arrangement of fresh fruit. The sugar-rich crust provides a stable base that complements the smooth frosting enhanced by pineapple juice or vanilla. The variety of fresh fruits adds a fresh texture and bright flavors, while the layering of elements offers a balance of sweet and slightly tart notes. It's a visually appealing dessert that also delivers a satisfying mix of textures.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- 1 egg
- 1¼ cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- banana
- strawberry
- kiwi
- blackberry
- pineapple
- Blueberry
Frosting
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice or vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, cream sugar, butter, and egg with a hand mixer.
- In another bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
- Dip hands in flour and spread dough onto a lightly greased pizza pan until it is approximately ¼ inch thick. Leave 1–2 inches around the edges of the pan for dough to expand.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- While crust cools, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, cream together cream cheese, sugar, and pineapple juice with the hand mixer. Spread over cooled cookie crust.
- Right before serving, add desired fruit in the pattern you prefer. Dip bananas in pineapple juice to keep them from getting dark fast.
- Keep refrigerated for up to 3 hours until ready to serve.
Notes
- Prepare crust, frosting, and fruit separately ahead but assemble fruit pizza within 2-3 hours for best texture.
- Store cooled crust at room temperature; keep frosting and sliced fruit refrigerated separately.
- Dip bananas in pineapple juice before assembling to prevent browning.
- Leftover fruit pizza can be refrigerated for 1-2 days but crust and fruit may become soggy over time.
- If short on time, store-bought sugar cookie dough can be used for the crust, baked at 375°F for about 13 minutes.
