Can I make Fruit Pizza ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can bake the crust and mix the frosting a day ahead. Assemble with fruit just before serving for the freshest look and taste.

Can I use store-bought sugar cookie dough?

Yes! If you’re short on time, store-bought dough works in a pinch. Just press it into the pan and bake as directed.

What fruits work best for Fruit Pizza?

Berries, kiwi, grapes, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and mango are fabulous. Avoid fruits that brown quickly, like bananas or apples, unless serving immediately.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep any leftover Fruit Pizza in the fridge, covered tightly, for up to 3 days. The crust may soften slightly but still tastes delicious.

Instructions

Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; beat on low until dough forms.
Cover dough and chill for at least 20 minutes (up to 1 day). Let soften slightly at room temp if chilled longer than 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
Press dough onto pan into a 9-10 inch circle, about 1/3-inch thick.
Bake 17-19 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
Make the Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy.
Spread frosting over cooled crust.
Top with arranged fresh fruit. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Chill the dough for easy handling.
Dry fruit slices with paper towels before adding to avoid excess moisture.
Customize fruit toppings based on seasonality or personal preference.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
