Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
  • Optional: zest of 1 lemon or orange
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly into the pan, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Smooth it out to the edges but not too thin.
  3. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but center remains soft. Remove from oven.
  4. Transfer the cookie crust to a cooling rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add heavy cream or milk to reach a spreadable consistency. Fold in lemon or orange zest if using.
  6. Spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the cooled cookie crust to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness.
  7. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes artistically on top of the cream cheese layer without overcrowding.
  8. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and cream cheese firm up.
  9. Optional: Just before serving, sprinkle fresh mint leaves over the top for garnish.

Notes

Do not overbake the crust to keep it soft and chewy. Cool the crust completely before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting or sliding. Beat cream cheese until smooth to avoid lumps. Use fresh, ripe fruit for best texture and flavor. Prepare cream cheese topping a day ahead if desired but add fruit just before serving. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
