Fruit Pizza Recipe
Fruit pizza is a delightful dessert that combines the best of both worlds: the sweetness of sugar cookies, the tanginess of cream cheese frosting, and the freshness of seasonal fruits.
Equipment
- 12-inch pizza pan (with no holes/air vents)
Ingredients
- Sugar Cookie Crust16 ½ ounces (1 package) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Sugar Cookie Dough
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- Toppings: 2 kiwifruits (peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced)
- 1 cup quartered fresh strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup apple jelly (for a sweet shine)
Instructions
- Get the sugar cookie crust ready by: Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Put the sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Until smooth, beat.
- The chilled sugar cookie dough should be rolled out and pressed into a 9–10-inch circle on the pizza pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a light golden color appears on the crust. Allow it to cool fully.
- To assemble the Fruit Pizza, cover the chilled dough with an even layer of the cream cheese mixture.
- Top with the cut blueberries, strawberries, and kiwifruits.
- For a few seconds, heat the apple jelly in the microwave until it becomes liquid. To give the fruit a glossy shine, brush it on.
