Fruit Pizza Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make our delicious sugar cookie fruit pizza:

For the Sugar Cookie Crust:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar.

For the Fruit Toppings:

• 7–10 strawberries, sliced
• 5–6 kiwis, sliced
• 1 mango, sliced
• 1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 small bunch of grapes, halved.

Instructions

Make the Dough: 

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
2. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
3. Once combined, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Bake the Crust: 

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a baking stone or sheet with parchment paper.
2. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out onto the prepared baking stone, spreading it into a uniform layer about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
3. Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set.
4. Once baked, remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: 

1. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
2. Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface of the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the frosting to firm up.
