Features a vibrant bounty of fruit atop a soft sugar cookie crust and thick, tangy cream cheese frosting. Choose your favorite fruits to customize this classic summertime dessert!
About a fruit pizza. Maybe it’s the bright, glossy colors… or the freshness of in-season fruits and berries… or the fact that it reminds me of a sunburst or a firework exploding in the sky. Out of our entire list of desserts for a BBQ cookout and 4th of July desserts, fruit pizza is usually the first one I recommend.
The combination of a soft, buttery sugar cookie crust with tangy-sweet cream cheese frosting and colorful fresh fruit is nostalgic AND irresistible!
Dairy Free Fruit Pizza Cookie Recipe With Gluten Free Option
I originally published this recipe in 2014, but I’ve made some updates to the recipe, and want to share them with you. I also filmed a new video tutorial and you can find that in the recipe below.
No pizza dough or pie crust needed today! This fruit pizza’s sugar cookie crust is soft in the center with a slightly crisp edge. It’s like a thicker, larger version of classic sugar cookies. And it’s really easy.
You’ll use familiar sugar cookie ingredients: flour, sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, baking powder, and salt; plus, we’re adding cornstarch to make the cookie crust extra soft. This recipe used to call for baking soda in the cookie dough, but it really wasn’t necessary or useful, so we’re using just baking powder now. You can read about the differences on this Baking Powder vs Baking Soda page.
Whipped Ricotta Fruit Pizza
The easy dough comes together with a mixer. It’s quite sticky and soft because there’s so little flour, so chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before pressing onto your pan. We want the sugar cookie crust to spread some in the oven, but not so much that it escapes the pan! The crust holds its shape much better if the dough is slightly cold. Then use your fingers to press the dough onto the pizza pan, shaping it into a 9–10-inch circle. (A 12-inch pizza pan works perfectly. Just make sure you aren’t using a pizza crisper pan with the little holes/air vents in it.)
We’re using a scaled-down version of this cream cheese frosting for the pizza “sauce.” It’s smooth, creamy, and spreads with ease. You need 4 ingredients including cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract. Use brick-style cream cheese, not the cream cheese spread in a tub.
In the previous version of this recipe, the frosting was extremely sweet and yielded A LOT. I reduced the confectioners’ sugar from 2 cups down to 1 and 1/4 cups, and I also slightly reduced the butter. I kept the same amount of cream cheese and vanilla extract. The result is a less-cloyingly sweet frosting with just the right amount of tang to balance out the sweet crust and fruit. You could add a bit of lemon juice for a little extra zing!
Breakfast Pizza Recipe
Fruits to avoid: I recommend steering clear of watermelon on fruit pizza because the water content can make the pizza soggy. Banana slices are fine to use, but they brown quickly, so brush them with a little lemon juice and serve the fruit pizza right away.
Whatever fruit you use, make sure to cut it into thin, bite-size pieces. When you slice the pizza, smaller pieces of fruit hold up better and are easier to serve (and eat). Small fruits like blueberries and raspberries are great choices because you don’t have to slice or peel them. It’s a prep-work shortcut you can always appreciate in recipes like blueberry pie.
The crust + frosting is your blank canvas, and now you get to make edible artwork! Decorate your fruit pizza in colorful patterns, get creative with elaborate designs, or simply just pile the fruit on top. You can really let your—or your child’s—creativity shine.
Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizzas
I usually make rings with the fruits, so that when the pizza is cut, each slice contains some of each fruit. If you’re in the USA, you could use strawberries and blueberries on top of the white frosting for festive holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day.

The Best Fruit Pizza Recipe
We are headed into spring and my head is spinning with recipes that will sing spring to you. The first one I thought of was this bright and cheerful sugar cookie Fruit Pizza. It is a delicious recipe that I was tempted to eat for breakfast while prepping it for you.
This amazing giant cookie dessert would be perfect for a baby shower or a backyard bbq. But I think it would be a show stopper as an Easter dessert.
This recipe uses a delicious cream cheese frosting that I think is so perfect with the fruit. This fruit pizza frosting, along with the crust, could also be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to frost.
Easy Fruit Pizza (with Sugar Cookie Base And Cream Cheese Frosting!)
If your family isn’t in love with cream cheese, my vanilla frosting would be amazing with this too. Just make sure to have your fruit all prepped so you can decorate as soon as it is frosted. That frosting hardens quickly.
The most important things to consider when picking fruit is to use fruit that is colorful and sturdy. Skip yellow fruits, like pineapple, because it won’t stand out against the frosting. Choose very ripe fruit that will hold it’s juice and not bleed into the frosting.
You can follow my pattern exactly, or you can go with something else. There is no right or wrong answer here. A few tips:
Easy Fresh Fruit Pizza
You can make the crust and the frosting the night before, but I would recommend waiting to decorate it until the day of.
Leftovers can be covered and kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, but are best enjoyed within 48 hours of making.
