Fruit Pizza

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Fruit Pizza is one of my favorite go to summer desserts. It’s a dessert that I grew up eating every summer. I remember picking off every fruit besides the strawberries because growing up I was not a big fruit fan. 20+ years later and I can’t get ENOUGH fruit on my fruit pizza. The more the merrier! Except for bananas, because your girl has a weird thing about bananas. I love banana bread, banana cake, bananas in my smoothies but there’s something about the texture of a plain banana that I can not stomach. But hey, if bananas are your thing, throw them on!

I love making this dessert for summer barbecues and birthday parties. It is always a crowd pleaser and the perfect refreshing dessert for summer. The base of my fruit pizza starts with a from scratch sugar cookie dough, which is my go-to sugar cookie recipe. It has a hint of almond that really puts it over the top. It’s then topped with a whipped cream frosting and then garnished with whatever fruit your heart desires!

Tips & Tricks:

  • You want to make sure your sugar cookie dough gets cooked enough that it doesn’t taste like raw cookie dough but not so cooked that it becomes dry and cake like. This can get a bit tricky. You want to take it out of the oven when the edges have just slightly started to turn the tiniest bit of brown but the middle has no browning.
  • I sometimes like to add 1/2 tsp of almond extract to the frosting for a fun little twist but I don’t always. Try it both ways and see how you like it!
  • If you are serving this for a crowd, don’t add your fruit until right before serving, otherwise the juices from the fruit can cause the frosting to get a little runny.
  • Make sure and store the leftovers in the fridge because of all the dairy in the frosting.

Description

The ultimate summer dessert. Homemade sugar cookie base frosted with a whipped cream and cream cheese frosting and topped with fresh fruit.


Ingredients

Scale

For the cookie “crust”:

  • 1 1/3 cups salted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tbsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 4 1/3 cups flour

For the frosting:

  • 1 block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

For the topping:

  • Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, mandarin oranges, blackberries plus any additional fruit you might want to add. Cut any fruit if necessary.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. For the cookies: In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients minus the sugar.
  3. In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl beat together the butter and sugar for 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs, sour cream, almond and vanilla extracts. Beat for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl a couple times. Mixture may look curdled but that is totally fine.
  5. Add dry ingredients a cup or two at a time until fully incorporated. Mixture should still be a bit sticky.
  6. Spray a half sheet pan liberally with cooking spray.
  7. Press cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the sheet pan.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minute or until edges are just barely starting to brown.
  9. Remove and let cool completely while you make the frosting.

For the frosting:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese and powdered sugar for 3 minutes.
  2. With your mixer on medium speed, slowly pour the heavy whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture, a little bit at a time.
  3. Once all the cream is added, turn the mixer to high and let the mixture get nice and thick until it resembles whipped cream, about 2 minutes.

Assembly:

  1. Frost the cooled cake with the frosting and then top with your cut fruit. Serve cold and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
