In This Post: Everything You Need For Fruit Pizza
The Prettiest Fruit Pizza Ever!
The jumbo sugar cookie is intentionally underbaked so it stays nice and soft and doughy (SAY NO MORE I am here for this). It’s topped with a cream cheese frosting – repeat: cream cheese frosting – and then it’s decorated with juicy, colorful fruit in a meticulous rainbow pattern. You guys know I give zero anythings about fancy-looking food. I am an anti-food-decorator. Just put it all in a bowl and give me a fork. That is my motto.

Ingredients You’ll Need For The Best Fruit Pizza Recipe
Baking essentials (like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and a couple extras) to make the sugar cookie dough crust. Cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar for the frosting Fruit! Our favorites include strawberries, grapes, mangos, blueberries, and kiwi. Your fruit choices are flexible here though – other great options could include bananas, raspberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, or maybe even peaches.
Effortless, Easy, and Beautiful
But this might be my one exception. It’s not actually hard at all – you just layer the fruit slices in a pretty pattern, and I swear, people will think you are straight-up Martha Stewart. Including yourself. And somehow that soft-baked sugar cookie + cream cheese frosting combo does, in fact, taste better when the sliced fruit on top is just a little prettier. You better be grammin this moment. This fruit pizza is strangely popular with the guys in my family – like, all of them are obsessed? – and I don’t know if that has to do with the underbaked sugar cookie crust, or the cream cheese frosting layer, or the fact that it has just the right amount of Midwestern retro to it? Guy/girl, Midwestern, retro or not, doesn’t even matter. This fruit pizza is just straight guuuud.
