STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a round pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

STEP 2: Let the 16 oz refrigerated cookie dough sit at room temperature to help it soften. Use the palm of your hand and fingertips to press it out into the shape of the pizza pan. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely before adding frosting.

Recipe Tips

Bake your fruit pizza at 350°F to get a lightly browned crust, but watch closely to prevent burning. Baking times usually range from 12 to 16 minutes, so monitor your oven accordingly.
Wait until the crust has cooled completely before spreading the frosting on top. To speed this up place it in the fridge to help chill faster.
Strawberries, grapes, mangos, blueberries, and kiwi are all popular choices. Other options include bananas, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and canned mandarin orange sections. Pat the fresh fruit dry with a paper towel before decorating to remove any excess moisture.
Frozen fruits will not work for this recipe! They can be watery and mushy, so stick to fresh fruit.
To avoid lumps in the cream cheese icing, sift the powdered sugar into a bowl before mixing it with the cream cheese.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerate - Place the fruit pizza in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. You can store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Remember that the crust may soften over time due to the moisture from the fruit and frosting.
