Easy Dessert Fruit Pizza Recipe
One of my first dessert fruit pizza experiences was at a Pampered Chef party years ago. Today I am featuring a beautiful pizza made for the 4th of July party was hosted that was created by my friend. This dessert had to be one of the prettiest I have ever seen! Be Creative!!!
The cream cheese frosting on this fruit loaded cookie dough recipe is IRRESISTIBLE! At our last 4th of July party I was sure to stash a few pieces to enjoy after the party because I know it would be gone in a snap.
Ingredients:
-
- 16.5 oz refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (about 1 roll )
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Your favorite summer fruits (kiwi fruit, strawberries, red raspberries, blueberries, pineapple)
- sprinkle with almond slivers or walnut crumbles
Instructions:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Break up cookie dough in pan; press dough evenly in bottom of pan to within 1/2 inch of edge. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
- In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crust.
- Arrange fruit over cream cheese. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. To serve, cut into wedges or squares. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pizza.
- If adding nut sprinkles be sure to do so just before serving.
First off I want to note that I love getting fresh produce this time of year from local markets. On this occasion I want to point out how fun and rewarding it is to grow some of your own produce. If you scroll through some of my gardening tips and tricks you will find various fruits I grow here in Ohio. Some of the fruits are make possible by having the controlled growing space in my Geodesic bio Dome. Secondly, I want to point out these fruits that are super easy to grow in most any location:
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Citrus
- Cherries
- Apples
- figs
- Red Raspberries
