Ingredients
  

For the Sugar Cookie Crust:

  • 1 package 16.5 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • or
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Fruit Topping:

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 kiwi peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup blackberries
  • ½ cup mandarin oranges or mango slices
  • Optional: ¼ cup apricot jam warmed and strained for glaze

Instructions
 

  • Make and bake the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Press sugar cookie dough into a 12-inch pizza pan or tart pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool completely.
  • If making from scratch: Cream butter and sugar, beat in egg and vanilla. Mix dry ingredients, then combine. Press dough into pan and bake 12–14 minutes.
  • Prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until fluffy.
  • Assemble the fruit pizza: Spread the cooled crust with cream cheese frosting. Arrange sliced fruits in a circular or decorative pattern on top.
  • Optional glaze: For extra shine, brush a thin layer of warmed apricot jam over the fruit.
  • Chill and serve: Refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing for cleaner cuts. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use firm, fresh fruit that won’t release too much juice (avoid watermelon or overripe fruit).
  • Can be made a few hours ahead, but add fruit the same day for best texture.
  • Get creative with fruit designs for holidays (e.g., stars and stripes for July 4th).
  • Leftovers should be stored in the fridge and enjoyed within 2 days.
