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 cup milk
- 4 cups mixed fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges)
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam or clear glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cookie dough package.
- Press the entire tube of sugar cookie dough evenly onto a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the cookie crust according to package directions until lightly golden brown. Let the crust cool completely on the pan.
- While the crust cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Arrange the mixed fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer.
- If using, gently warm the apricot jam or glaze slightly and brush it lightly over the fruit for shine.
- Chill the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought sugar cookie dough for maximum speed.
- For a firmer crust, bake the dough for 2-3 minutes longer than recommended.
- Prepare the frosting and fruit a few hours ahead, but assemble just before serving for the best texture.
- Slice the pizza using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
