Easy Fruit Pizza
Fruit pizza, aka sugar cookie fruit pizza, is my favorite fruit dessert. The buttery sugar cookie crust topped with tangy cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit is light, sweet and fresh. It’s tastes likes a mix between a fruit tart and a sugar cookie bar!
While I love a warm chocolate chip cookie pizza, this fruit pizza is the perfect giant cookie dessert for long summer days. Add your fruits and designs, use homemade dough or pre-made and it’s perfect for summertime BBQ’s or a 4th of July dessert.
Ingredient Notes

Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Sure cookie dough: I used easy premade Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, but any store bought dough works. If you prefer from scratch, try my homemade sugar cookie recipe.
- Fruit pizza frosting: Softened cream cheese, homemade Cool Whip (or thawed frozen whipped topping), vanilla extract and granulated sugar.
- Fresh fruit: For the best fruit pizza, I used a combination of berries including strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, mandarin oranges, kiwi and pineapple.
How to Make Fruit Pizza
Slice or drain fruit and set on paper towels to absorb excess juices. In a large mixer bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip then chill.

Press the sugar cookie dough into the pizza pan. Pierce dough a couple times with a fork then bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool sugar cookie crust completely.

Using a rubber spatula, spread an even layer of your chilled frosting over the cooled sugar cookie base. Top with fresh fruit!

Toppings for Fruit Pizza
You can use any type of fruit for this recipe! Drain canned fruit fully in a strainer and pat dry with a paper towel to avoid a soggy crust. Fruits such as apples or bananas will brown quickly so toss them with lemon juice.
- Strawberries
- Kiwi
- Mandarin oranges
- Raspberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Bananas
- Mangoes
- Grapes
- Pineapple
- Peaches or peach pie filling
Fun Designs and Decorations
- If you’re looking for a festive Memorial Day or Independence Day dessert, turn this dessert into a patriotic 4th of July fruit pizza!
- For brunch, make a sunrise design by using fresh oranges, strawberries and pineapple. Finish it off with some lemon zest for a refreshing taste.
- Shape into an oval shape for an Easter egg or make a rainbow shape.
- Can also be turned into individual fruit pizza cookies or bars.

Other fresh fruit recipes we love to make include this rainbow fruit platter, fruit kabobs and during the spring this fruit tray for Easter.

FAQs
Bake the crust and prepare frosting. Wrap crust in plastic wrap to keep fresh. Store frosting in a container in the fridge. When ready to assemble, spread frosting and add fruit.
While it is best to serve within 24 hours of assembling it can be tightly covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The sugar cookie crust will begin to soften and the fruit won’t be as fresh, but it will still taste good.

This does sound yummy. I’ve seen these before but didn’t recall that they’d were on sugar cookies. Your recipe is so easy I may have to whip one up today. Plus by using lighter cream cheese and cool whip you can reduce some of the calories. I’m not sure it would be as satisfying but it could be done. Thanks for sharing this in your weekend update.
