Description
A colorful and simple dessert featuring a soft sugar-cookie crust topped with cream cheese and a variety of fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or 2 cups homemade sugar cookie dough)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice or zest
- Assorted fresh fruit (about 3–4 cups total)
- 2–3 tbsp apricot jam (optional, for glaze)
- Mint leaves, shredded coconut, or chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)
- Nonstick spray or parchment
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 12-inch pizza pan or line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Roll or press the dough into the pan, building a slight lip around the edge.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but soft.
- Cool completely before adding the cream cheese layer.
- Make the cream cheese spread by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice/zest until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese onto the cooled crust in an even layer.
- Arrange the fruit artistically on top of the cream cheese.
- Glaze (optional) by warming the apricot jam and brushing it lightly over the fruit.
- Garnish with mint leaves, coconut, or pistachios if desired.
- Chill the assembled pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
