A vibrant and sweet fruit pizza featuring a sugar cookie crust, creamy topping, and fresh fruit, perfect for casual gatherings and dessert lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll the refrigerated sugar cookie dough out thin to cover the Superstone Pie Baker as a pie crust. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Mix the cream cheese, sugar, milk, and orange juice until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie dough crust.
- Arrange fresh fruit in concentric circles on top of the cream cheese layer.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using reduced-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt instead of regular cream cheese. You can also substitute the orange juice with lemon juice for a different flavor. To save time, pre-made cookie dough is a convenient option, but feel free to use homemade if you prefer. Make sure the cookie crust cools completely to prevent the cream cheese layer from melting.
