Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (about 16 oz / 450 g) sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon granulated sugar to sprinkle on top before baking
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
- Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a 9- to 10-inch round pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the pan about 1/4 inch thick. Optionally sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar on top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden and center is set but slightly soft. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Beat together softened cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled cookie crust about 1/4 inch thick.
- Wash, dry, and slice or segment the fruit. Arrange fruit decoratively on top of the creamy layer. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Let cream cheese and sour cream sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing for smooth texture. Cool crust completely before spreading topping to prevent melting. Dry fruit well to avoid sogginess. Use a serrated knife to slice cleanly. For gluten-free, use almond flour cookie dough. For dairy-free, substitute with coconut-based cream cheese and yogurt.
