A fun and colorful dessert pizza featuring a cake base topped with sweet cream cheese mixture, perfect for parties and gatherings with a fruity, creamy flavor profile.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the cake mix and oil and press into a large pizza pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes or until light brown.
- Allow to cool and set aside.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the cake mix and oil mixture. You can also substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free blend if needed. If you want a creamier topping, try using mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. For added sweetness, feel free to increase the confectioners sugar to taste. This recipe is versatile and can be customized just like Vanilla Wafer Banana Pudding.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pizza Fruit Pie topped with a variety of fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi for a colorful presentation. A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce can elevate the dessert even further. This dish pairs beautifully with Coconut Hummingbird Cake for a delightful dessert spread. Consider offering whipped cream on the side for an extra touch of indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pizza Fruit Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you plan to reheat it, place individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. You can also serve it cold directly from the fridge, which can enhance the flavors and make it refreshing, especially during warmer months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as chocolate or lemon, to create a unique twist on the traditional Pizza Fruit Pie. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile will change accordingly, so choose a mix that complements your chosen toppings.
How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this recipe dairy-free, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and substitute the confectioners sugar with a powdered sugar that is free from dairy ingredients. Ensure that the cake mix you choose is also dairy-free, as some brands may contain milk products.
What fruits work best as toppings?
You can use a variety of fruits to top your Pizza Fruit Pie, but berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are popular choices. Sliced bananas and kiwi also add nice color and flavor. Consider seasonal fruits for the freshest taste; just avoid fruits that brown quickly, like apples, unless you plan to serve immediately.
