Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Crust:
- 1 package pre-made sugar cookie dough (or your favorite cookie recipe)
Cream Cheese Topping:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
Fruit Toppings:
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup peeled and sliced kiwi
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup drained mandarin oranges
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sugar Cookie Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a greased or parchment-lined pizza pan, shaping it into a round crust. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Cream Cheese Topping: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
- Assemble Fruit Pizza: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and mandarin oranges on top of the cream cheese layer in a decorative pattern. Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let the flavors blend and the base firm up. Garnish with mint leaves if desired, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
- You can customize the fruit toppings based on your preferences and seasonal availability.
- Feel free to experiment with different fruit combinations for a unique twist.
- For a sweeter crust, you can add a thin layer of fruit preserves or glaze before adding the cream cheese topping.
