Easy Fruit Pizza Recipe with Cream Cheese Frosting (Video)

Who doesn’t love pizza? Everyone’s favorite menu item doesn’t have to just be savory. Nutella pizzas have continued to sneak their way onto Italian menus and I am here for it! That’s why today, we’re making a dessert pizza: Summer Fruit Pizza.

We start with making the “dough,” a sugar cookie base. This is delicious alone and can be mixed with nuts, chocolate, etc. for a delicious cookie by itself. But then we continue building our pizza with a cream cheese frosting. Lemon zest and cream cheese make for a zingy frosting that is ready to hold any and all of our toppings. I’m using in season fruits during the summer but I’ll be making this throughout the year. No matter when you make this, you can use whatever you have on hand or is at the grocery store.

In the video, you will see two versions of this dessert: one large pizza, and another that is mini pizzas. The dough, frosting, and toppings are all the same. Note: you need to bake these versions for different times. While the temperature and ingredients are all the same, the mini pizzas bake for a shorter amount of time to note burn.

Make it a red, white, and blueberry affair for the 4th of July or just blue fruits for a gender reveal—so many cute and creative ways to top this light and refreshing dessert. No matter what, kids and adults are going to love this one.

This parchment paper is my go-to for all things baking. It worked perfectly here!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

1. Prepare the dough first. Beat unsalted butter with the sugar for at least 2 minutes. 
2. Add in your egg and vanilla extract and mix.
3. Sift the bread flour, baking soda, and salt together. Add to your butter and sugar bowl and mix until just combined.
4. Place your dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 
5. Once cooled, place on a floured surface to work into the pizza shape
   1. If making one large pizza, form the dough into a circle and pinch the outside to form the crust
   2. If making multiple mini pizzas, spread the dough to be even in thickness. Using a cookie shaper, cup, etc. carve out your mini pizzas. Rework the scraps to make additional quantities
6. Bake. If making the mini pizzas, bake for 10-12 minutes. For one big pizza, bake for 16-18 minutes. Cool completely. 
7. While cooling, prepare frosting. Beat the cream cheese and sugar for at least 2 minutes. Add in vanilla extract and lemon zest and continue to beat until well blended. 
8. Spread your cream cheese frosting over the cooled dough, like a sauce on a pizza. 
9. Top with fruits of your choice. Serve and enjoy!

PS if this cream cheese sauce is right up your alley, make these Blueberry Cream Cheese Strudels. They use the same filling but incorporate blueberries and puff pastry for a no-fail strudel everytime.
