Fun, quick and delicious this Easy Fruit Pizza uses minimal ingredients and is the perfect dessert or sweet breakfast recipe to add to your menu.
Fruit Pizza is one of my kids all time favorite pizzas around. I think them, and myself could go for fruit pizza over the regular stuff any day of the week.
I mean seriously, dessert pizza? How could you not fall in love.
We’ve made this Easy Fruit Pizza many times over the last few years and it never gets old. The “frosting” on this pizza really makes the whole thing.
Add fresh fruit and boom, you have yourself one pizza that you seriously and utterly cannot resist and its dessert!
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
- Minimal ingredients really makes this recipe super easy to whip up.
- You can completely customize your toppings to your fruit preferences.
- It can be eaten for a lot of different things like breakfast or dessert, there is no judging.
Want to know My little secret for making the best spread? I use a mixture of vanilla AND almond extracts. I pretty much do that for any spreads or icings/frostings.
I have a little addiction to all things almond flavored and I think adding a little bit of almond extract along with your vanilla brings the flavors to a whole new level.
HOW TO MAKE EASY FRUIT PIZZA, STEP BY STEP:
-
Preheat oven to 350. On pizza pan or cookie sheet press your cookie dough into about a 12″ circle and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.
-
Meanwhile in bowl mix together your cream cheese, butter and extracts until smooth.
- Add in your powdered sugar and beat again until combined, set aside until your crust cools.
- Meanwhile chop your fruit that you desire to use, we used strawberries, blueberries and kiwi for ours.
-
Next, spread your frosting mixture over cooled cookie crust.
-
Top with fruit in your favorite designs and cut and serve!
I mean super simple right? That is how we roll around here, this Easy Fruit Pizza is more than just addicting, it’s like life.
CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME?
This Fruit Pizza Recipe is one of those recipes that you do not want to make too far ahead of time. You can prepare slightly ahead of time but we recommend no longer than about 4-6 hours before you will be serving.
You run the risk of the fruit sweating and bleeding in to the frosting and everything becoming a soggy mess, so this is always recommended to be eaten as soon as possible.
If you do make it ahead of time, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
WHAT FRUIT GOES WELL ON PIZZA?
Literally any fruit that you love will go well on this pizza. There is really no limits when it comes to creativity for this recipe.
We simply used strawberries, kiwi and blueberries because we love those flavor combinations together.
You can easily decorate this pizza for any holidays as well using various fruit colors.
Some other fruit toppings that would go well include raspberries, bananas, apples, pears, grapes, etc.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Make sure the crust is fully cooled before spreading on your frosting, to cool down quicker place in the refrigerator.
- You can use any fruit combinations that you love for this easy fruit pizza, the possibilities are endless.
- Not a fan of almond flavoring, simply use use all vanilla, or substitute some of a fruit flavoring for a fruit that will be topping this pizza.
- If you find seasonal cookie dough like lemon, that would be a great flavor different than using the sugar cookie dough we normally use.
- I like to bake the crust when it is slightly underdone because it keeps cooking slightly when removed from oven, this gives it a nice and chewy texture.
