All that’s required is to bake the cookie dough, mix and spread the cream cheese frosting on top, chop the fruit, then design your own fruit pizza!
Recipe Ingredients
- 16 oz refrigerated cookie dough – softened at room temperature for 1 hr
- 8 oz cream cheese – softened to room temperature
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter – softened to room temperature

How To Make Fruit Pizza Recipe
Full ingredients and instructions are also in the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
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.
STEP 3: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, 2 Tbsp softened unsalted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer. It will be clumpy at first then turn smooth and creamy after 2-3 minutes.
STEP 4: Spread the cream cheese frosting on the cooled sugar cookie with a spatula. Leave a little bit of cookie exposed around the edges.
STEP 5: Wash and slice 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries, 2 sliced kiwis, ½ cup blueberries, and 9 oz canned mandarin orange sections. Arrange the fruit in circles, starting with the outer edge and working inward until you reach the center. Serve immediately or place the sugar cookie in the fridge until ready to serve. Slice the fruit pizza using a knife or pizza cutter.
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.
