Ingredients For Fruit Pizza

Fresh, sweet and a little bit tart, this a more than just a treat, it’s an occasion all by it’s self!

Unsalted butter: softened and at room temperature. Granulated sugar: Sweet white sugar. Egg: Provides structure and moisture.Vanilla: Sweet flavor. Flour: All-purpose flour Baking powder: This will help your cookie crust be light and fluffy. Salt: Balances the sweet.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese: softened and at room temperature.Powdered sugar: Sift it for easier mixing. Instant vanilla pudding powder: Adds an incredible vanilla flavor. Vanilla extract: Sweetness and great flavor.

Whether you make it round or square, this absolutely scrumptious.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cookie: This is meant to be soft and a bit chewy. You do not want to overcook the cookie too much, it will make the crust hard and crumbly and hard to eat. Chill: If you find the dough a bit too sticky, try chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling out.Cool Completely: You want the cooked cookie dough to be completely cool before adding the cream cheese frosting. Otherwise, it will melt and run. Fruit: Use fresh colorful bright fruit that is ripe for the best flavor. See below for more fruit ideas. If you are worried about extra moisture on your fruit pizza, after you slice the fruit, let it lay on paper towels for a bit to soak up extra moisture.Keep it Pretty: I try to avoid using fruits that will brown fast when left out, like bananas, apples, and pears. If you want to use those fruits, toss with some pineapple then allow to dry. This will help keep them from turning brown. Pattern: There is no wrong way to decorate a fruit pizza! Just let your imagination go with the flow, this is a great way to kids involved and let them put the fruit on! Holidays: Use fruits and patterns to celebrate certain holidays and occasions. Like red white and blue for the 4th of July or all red fruits for Valentine’s.

Make-Ahead: This can be made ahead but keep the parts separate till ready to serve. Bake the crust and even put the cream cheese frosting on, but wait to put the fruit on till right before serving. This will keep the cookie from getting too soggy.Fruit: There are so many options you can use. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, kiwi, mango, grapes Oranges, clementines, peaches, and nectarines. Even canned fruit works, just drain well. Canned pineapple, mandarin oranges, pears, and peaches all would be yummy. Cookie Base: Yes you can use store-bought sugar cookie dough, just roll and bake and top! Shape: This can be rolled out onto a cookie sheet or even a 9×13 pan. Even though it’s pizza doesn’t mean it has to be a circle to be delicious. Use what works for you. Frosting: The cream cheese will give it a much-needed bit of tang and creaminess that compliments the fruit perfectly. You can use regular frosting or store-bought vanilla frosting as well. If you do not have vanilla pudding powder, you can omit it and add a bit more vanilla extract. Store: This is best eaten the day you make it. The longer it is stored the soggier it will get. It is best eaten within 2 days. Keep tightly covered in the fridge.
