A quick and easy dessert featuring a baked sugar cookie base topped with a creamy cream cheese layer and fresh seasonal fruit, perfect for summer gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (16 oz / 450 g) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, washed
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons apricot jam for glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pizza pan on the center rack to ensure even baking.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated sugar cookie dough and press it evenly onto the pizza pan, shaping it into a circle about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.
  3. Bake the cookie base for 15-18 minutes until golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
  4. While the cookie base cools, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and airy.
  7. Once the cookie base has cooled completely (about 20 minutes), spread the creamy layer evenly over the top.
  8. Arrange the sliced fruit on top, starting with larger pieces like kiwi and mandarin segments, then fill in gaps with strawberries and blueberries.
  9. If desired, gently warm the apricot jam and brush it over the fruit for a shiny glaze.
  10. Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. Use cold heavy cream and chilled bowl for best whipping results. Pat fruit dry to prevent sogginess. Press down cookie base gently if it puffs unevenly after baking. Use parchment paper for easier cleanup. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
