This is one of my all-time favorite fruit desserts. The sugar cookie crust topped with the cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit is absolute perfection. It’s tastes likes a mix between a fruit tart and a sugar cookie bar and is so, so delicious!
We LOVE fruit pizza around here! I mean, is anything better than a cookie pizza?? I don’t think so! While I love a warm chocolate chip cookie pizza, I have to say that fruit pizza is my absolute favorite. It’s the perfect dessert for long summer days and is SO yummy!
Strawberry Kiwi Fruit Pizza Watermelon
You can use a homemade recipe for the dough, but I’ve found the premade dough is easy and tastes great. My kind of recipe! ;) There’s so many different ways to make this dessert unique. Just add your favorite fruits and designs to make it perfect for your family!
You can use any type of fruit for this recipe! If you opt to use canned fruit be sure to drain it fully in a strainer and pat dry with a paper towel so as not to add excess moisture which could lead to a soggy crust. Below are some of my favorites:
This is totally up to you! I typically use premade Pillsbury sugar cookie dough because it’s super easy and convenient, but you could definitely make your own soft sugar cookie. It will just take a little bit longer to make your sugar cookie base, but taste oh so delicious! You could even make a graham cracker crust if preferred.
Fruit Pizza Cookies
The best dessert pizza with fruit is easy and effortless to make all while letting the beauty of fresh fruit shine through!
That beautiful thing about dessert pizza is that you can customize it with your favorite fruits! I used berries, mandarin oranges, pineapple and kiwi but you could use sliced peaches, grapes and so many more choices.
While dishes similar to pizza with fruit date back to 6th century BC there is no official record of dessert pizzas topped with fruit in the United States until somewhere between World War II and the 1980’s. No matter where and when, I am glad this delicious dessert has become a summertime staple!
Dessert Fruit Pizza Recipe
While it is best to serve within 24 hours of assembling it can be tightly covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The sugar cookie crust will begin to soften and the fruit won’t be as fresh, but it will still taste good.
It will only get soggy as it sits. I recommended serving this recipe for fruit pizza after assembling it to avoid any risk of sogginess.
You can bake the crust and prepare the frosting ahead of time if preferred. Wrap the crust with plastic wrap to keep fresh and then store the frosting in an airtight container in the fridge. Then when ready to prepare, spread the frosting on top and add the diced fruit.

Make ahead: Prepare the cookie crust and frosting up to 1 day in advance. Store the cookie in an airtight container at room temperature and the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Frost and assemble the day of serving.

Fruit Pizza With Shortbread Crust
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!
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.
Mini Fruit Pizza ~sweet & Savory
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.
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.)
Fruity Pizza With Pizzazz
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!
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.
Fruit Pizza On A Sugar Cookie Crust.
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.
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.
