Fruit pizza is so refreshing. It's the best summer dessert!

A sweet chewy cookie crust, smeared with a cream cheese/cool whip frosting and topped with juicy fresh fruit. It really doesn't get much better than that!

It's a great make ahead treat. Simply mix up the sugar cookie base and bake. Once cool, spread on the luscious cream cheese frosting and top with sliced fruit.

Fruit pizza is perfect for potlucks because it makes a lot. It's become one of my go-to desserts to bring to gatherings. I always receive compliments and requests for the recipe. And you will too!

FRUIT PIZZA (SUGAR COOKIE CRUST AND CREAM CHEESE FROSTING)

Last fall I made two large pans of this fruit pizza for one of the weekly dinners for my son's football team.

The other parents raved about it, and snuck pieces before it was time to serve the boys.

I was curious if the boys would like it as well.

Not a single piece was left at the end of the night! 

I think they liked it. 

It's definitely a crowd pleaser.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR SUGAR COOKIE FRUIT PIZZA RECIPE

For quantities, see the recipe section at the bottom of the article.

• butter
• sugar
• eggs
• vanilla extract
• almond extract
• flour
• salt
• baking soda
• cream cheese
• cool whip
• powdered sugar

Note: I prefer to make my homemade sugar cookie dough. However, you can use a pre-packaged cookie dough for a super quick and easy fruit pizza. 

FAVORITE FRESH FRUIT OPTIONS FOR SUGAR COOKIE PIZZA (best when cut into bite sized pieces)

I prefer fruits that don't brown easily. Fresh berries are my go-to. The pizza will stay fresh longer and continue to look appetizing. 

• strawberries
• kiwi
• mandarin oranges
• raspberries
• blueberries
• pineapple
• grapes

Other fruits that are delicious, but need to be added right before serving to avoid browning.

• peaches
• bananas
• mangos

HELPFUL KITCHEN TOOLS

• pizza pans OR cookie sheet
• mixing bowls
• hand mixer
  

Traditionally fruit pizza is round and made on a pizza pan.

This recipe would make two round pizzas. Since I only have one pizza pan, I opt to make it all on one large 18 X 13 inch pan. I think it's easier to serve that way as well.

HOW TO MAKE FRUIT PIZZA

Fruit pizza is one of the easiest ways to make a dessert for a large gathering. It makes a lot and is easy to pre-cut for easy self-serving.

1. Make the cookie dough and press into an even layer on a cookie sheet or pizza pans.
2. Bake just until the edges are golden brown.
3. Cool completely.
4. Add a thick layer of cream cheese frosting onto cooled cookie crust.
5. Add slices of your favorite fruit on top of the cream cheese layer.
