Start by preheating your oven to 325 F or 160 C.

NOTE: If using store-bought cookie dough, a 16 oz. pack makes one pizza crust. If using homemade cookie dough, one batch makes 2 pizza crusts. These dessert pizzas were made using homemade sugar cookie dough, which makes 2 dessert pizzas.

Split your homemade sugar cookie dough into 2 equal pieces. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and then roll out into a circle.

Next, transfer the dough onto a greased pizza baking sheet. Roll out the pizza toward the edges of the pan and then shape the edges evenly with a spatula or a spoon.

Leave some space between the edges of the pizza and the pan; this gives extra room for the pizza dough to expand while baking. Otherwise, the pizza dough will be falling off over the pan and burn on the bottom of the oven and your kitchen will be full of smoke.

Repeat the same instructions with the second half of the dough.

Time to bake our delicious dessert pizza crust! Bake the 2 pans in the oven at the same time at 325 F for 40-45 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Remove the dessert pizza crust from the oven, let the crust cool for 5 minutes, and then slice the crust when it’s still warm.

We want to slice it while it’s still warm because a cooled crust will break and crumble while cutting into it. Once sliced, cool the crust completely before assembling.

While the pizza crust is baking, make the cream and prepare the fruit for the topping.

Let’s start with the toppings first. Peel and rinse the kiwis. Remove the stem of strawberries and rinse them too.

Slice the kiwis and strawberries, place them onto a paper towel for the excess juice to be absorbed, and set them aside until they’re ready to be used.

Let’s make the delicious dessert pizza sauce next!

Mix together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar well until it’s all combined.

Next, add cold heavy whipping cream to it. Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl and mix for 1 minute or until smooth. Repeat scraping the cream down the mixing bowl and mixing once more to ensure all ingredients are whipped well.

Refrigerate your dessert pizza ‘sauce’ until you’re ready to use it.

Let’s put it all together for the most delicious dessert pizza ever! Drop the cream in small portions onto the crust to spread it more easily.

Spread the cream carefully and evenly using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

Top the sauce with sliced strawberries and kiwis.

If you like the crust to be crunchy you can serve it right away. We like our crust to be soft and moist.

For a more soft and moist crust, wrap your pizza with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours. This will make the sauce slightly absorb into the crust and give you a delicious moist crust that tastes incredible!

Your delicious Dessert Pizza is ready to be served!
