Description

Fruit Pizza is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh fruits with the richness of a cream cheese frosting, all atop a soft and buttery sugar cookie crust. It’s a visually appealing and delicious treat, perfect for summer gatherings, holidays, or any occasion that calls for a sweet, refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-inch round pizza pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, forming a 12-inch circle. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  8. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, and continue to beat until well combined and smooth.
  9. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  10. Arrange the fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese frosting in a decorative pattern of your choice.
  11. For added shine and sweetness, you can drizzle a bit of honey over the fruit.
  12. Slice the fruit pizza into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
  13. If not serving immediately, refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese frosting to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Pat the fresh fruits dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • If using store-bought cookie dough, follow package instructions for baking.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour for the crust.
  • If making individual-sized pizzas, press the dough into muffin tins and bake accordingly.
