Make a quick fruit pizza using refrigerated sugar cookie dough for the base and a simple cream cheese frosting.

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
  • 4 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  4. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan.
  5. While the crust cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  7. Arrange the mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer. You can create patterns or cover the entire surface.
  8. Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For mini fruit pizzas, use pre-made mini sugar cookie crusts or cut circles from the rolled-out dough before baking.
  • Pat any very wet fruit, like sliced strawberries, lightly with a paper towel before placing them on the frosting to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
  • You can substitute the lemon zest with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor in the frosting.
