Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza (Easy + Customizable Recipe)
What’s a great dessert option that everyone will love? This sugar cookie fruit pizza recipe is quick and customizable, and a hit among adults and kids alike!
The first step in our easy fruit pizza recipe involves preparing your homemade sugar cookie dough. To start, divide your dough into two equal portions.
On a lightly floured surface, take one portion of the dough and roll it out into a circle. This will form the sugar cookie crust of your fruit pizza.
Next, grease your inch pizza pan and transfer the rolled dough onto it. Now, gently press the dough towards the edges of the pan and leave a small gap for the dough to expand while baking.
Use a spatula to shape the edges of your sugar cookie crust. Repeat this process with the second half of your dough.
How to Bake Your Sugar Cookie Crust
With your sugar cookie crusts prepared, it is time to bake them in the oven. Preheat your oven to a temperature of about 325 F.
Place both pans in the oven and bake for around 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crusts turn a golden brown color.
When ready, remove the pizza crusts from the oven. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing while still warm. This step is crucial as the crusts may break if sliced when cold. Make sure to let the crusts cool completely after slicing before you proceed to assemble your sugar cookie fruit pizza.
How to Make Your Cream Cheese Frosting
As your pizza crusts are baking, it is the perfect time to prepare your cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit toppings. In a bowl, beat your softened cream cheese and sugar together until well combined.
As you continue to mix, at low speed, add in the cold heavy whipping cream. The mixture will initially thin out before it starts to thicken.
To guarantee that all ingredients are well combined, stop the mixer periodically and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
How to Assemble Your Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza
Now, it is time to assemble your sugar cookie fruit pizza. Begin by spreading your cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled crusts using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Next, top your cream with a variety of fresh fruit. You can use any fruit you like, but blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, raspberries, grapes, pineapple, peaches, bananas, blackberries, mandarin oranges, and mangoes are all excellent choices.
You can serve your sugar cookie fruit pizza immediately if you prefer a crunchy crust. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the pizza for about 6 hours if you prefer a softer crust. Enjoy!
