- 1 package (16.5 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- Assorted fresh fruit for topping (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pan to form a large, flat circle for the crust.
- Bake the cookie crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on the pan.
- While the crust cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Arrange your desired fresh fruit decoratively over the frosting layer. Slice and serve immediately for best results.
Notes
- For a mini fruit pizza option, press small amounts of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, then top individually.
- If you want a slightly tangier frosting, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice along with the vanilla.
- Cut the fruit into uniform pieces so the pizza looks neat when sliced.
