Ingredients
Base
- 1 package sugar cookie dough Use store-bought or homemade dough.
Creamy topping
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1/3 cup sugar Adjust to taste if desired.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- assorted servings fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges) Use any fresh fruits you like.
Garnish (optional)
- to taste Mint leaves for garnish Add for color and flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust.
- Bake according to package instructions until golden brown, then let the crust cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- Arrange the assorted fresh fruits on top in a decorative pattern.
- Optionally garnish with mint leaves for color and flavor.
- Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Chill the crust completely before spreading to prevent the topping from melting. Use ripe but firm fruit to keep slices looking fresh and avoid sogginess. For cleaner slices, chill the assembled pizza 15–20 minutes before cutting. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For a lighter version, swap full-fat cream cheese for a lower-fat alternative and adjust sugar to taste, or serve with a simple citrus glaze.
