Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz tube Refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • cups Sliced strawberries
  • 2 Kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup Blueberries
  • 1 9 oz can Mandarin oranges, drained and patted dry
  • Optional Bananas (if desired, tossed in lemon juice)
  • Optional Other fruits like raspberries or pineapple

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray your pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. Press the softened cookie dough evenly across the pan with your hands or fingertips.
    Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  2. While the crust is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Beat together softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Once the crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly across the top, leaving a little edge of cookie showing.
  4. Wash and slice your fruit, then pat it dry with paper towels. This is crucial to prevent excess moisture from making the crust soggy.
    Decorate the pizza by arranging the fruit on top of the frosting. You can arrange the fruit in concentric circles or any pattern you prefer.
  5. Once the fruit is arranged, chill the fruit pizza in the fridge until ready to serve. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice it into wedges or squares.

Notes

This dessert comes together quickly with store-bought dough and is endlessly customizable based on the fruit in season. The cream cheese frosting is tangy, sweet, and balances perfectly with the fresh fruit. A total crowd-pleaser that's easy enough for the kids to help decorate.
