A quick and easy fresh fruit pizza with a soft sugar cookie crust, creamy sweetened cream cheese topping, and colorful fresh fruit, perfect for summer snacks and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (about 16 ounces)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 peach or nectarine, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam, warmed (optional glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-inch round baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough into a roughly 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to prepared pan and press gently to fit.
  3. Bake crust for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and center is set but soft. Watch closely around 12 minutes.
  4. Remove crust from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack or in the pan for about 20 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if desired.
  6. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled cookie crust using an offset spatula or spoon.
  7. Arrange fresh fruit on top in desired patterns or scatter naturally.
  8. Optional: Warm apricot jam and brush lightly over fruit to add shine and preserve freshness.
  9. Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  10. Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

Keep dough cold until rolling to prevent stickiness. Do not overbake crust to keep it soft. Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Use firm, ripe fruit to prevent mushiness. Glaze fruit with warmed apricot jam to add shine and preserve freshness. Chill pizza before slicing for clean cuts. Store leftovers covered in fridge for up to 3 days. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted.
