Easy Fruit Pizza
A colorful, fruity dessert featuring a sugar cookie crust topped with cream cheese and fresh fruits, perfect for casual gatherings and sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pat the softened sugar cookie dough into two 12-inch greased pizza pans to form the crust.
- Press the dough around the rims of the pans to form a standing edge. Prick with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using a flavored cream cheese like strawberry or a yogurt-based alternative for a lighter option. If you don't have white grape juice, apple juice can work in a pinch. Ensure your cookie crust is fully cooled before adding the cream cheese topping to prevent it from melting. For extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed nuts or granola on top before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your easy fruit pizza as a delightful dessert at summer gatherings or picnics. It pairs beautifully with Joanne'S Homemade Ice Cream for a refreshing treat. You can also offer a side of whipped cream or yogurt for added creaminess. This colorful dessert is sure to impress guests at any occasion.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fruit pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the freshness of the fruit, it's best to keep the fruit separate from the crust and cream cheese mixture until serving. If the crust becomes soggy, consider re-baking it briefly to restore its texture.
