Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Crust

  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 3 to 4 cups fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Press the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet forming an 8 by 13-inch rectangle. Ensure the thickness is consistent for even baking.
  4. Bake the cookie crust for 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Avoid over-baking to keep the crust soft. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until incorporated.
  6. Spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the cooled cookie crust. Arrange the fresh fruit on top in any desired pattern or design.
  7. Place the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve, allowing the topping to set nicely.

Notes

  • You can use other pan sizes: a 12-inch round pizza pan or a 9×13-inch pan. Adjust the dough thickness accordingly.
  • To make mini fruit pizzas, scoop cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten slightly, and bake.
  • If using store-bought sugar cookie dough, use about 1 and 1/2 (16-ounce) tubes to ensure sufficient thickness.
