Ingredients
Instructions
- Soften the cookie dough to room temperature.
- Pat the cookie dough into a 12-inch pizza pan.
- Bake in a conventional 375°F oven for 15 to 16 minutes.
- Allow the crust to cool completely before adding toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. If you're looking for a lighter option, you can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt or a lower-fat cream cheese alternative. You can also experiment with different fruit toppings like berries, kiwis, or bananas for varied flavors. Make sure to let the cookie crust cool completely before spreading the cream cheese mixture to avoid melting.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the fruit pizza into wedges for a fun and colorful dessert option that can be enjoyed at parties or family gatherings. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. For a complete meal, serve it alongside light salads or alongside dishes like American recipes that feature grilled meats for a refreshing contrast.
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 crust and toppings, it's best to keep the fruit separate until serving. If you need to reheat the crust, place it in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes, but avoid reheating once the toppings are added to prevent sogginess.
