We are headed into spring and my head is spinning with recipes that will sing spring to you. The first one I thought of was this bright and cheerful sugar cookie Fruit Pizza. It is a delicious recipe that I was tempted to eat for breakfast while prepping it for you. This amazing giant cookie dessert would be perfect for a baby shower or a backyard bbq. But I think it would be a show stopper as an Easter dessert.
How to Make Fruit Pizza
Cream Cheese Frosting
This recipe uses a delicious cream cheese frosting that I think is so perfect with the fruit. This fruit pizza frosting, along with the crust, could also be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator until you are ready to frost. If your family isn’t in love with cream cheese, my vanilla frosting would be amazing with this too. Just make sure to have your fruit all prepped so you can decorate as soon as it is frosted. That frosting hardens quickly.
What Fruit to Use on a Fruit Pizza
The most important things to consider when picking fruit is to use fruit that is colorful and sturdy. Skip yellow fruits, like pineapple, because it won’t stand out against the frosting. Choose very ripe fruit that will hold it’s juice and not bleed into the frosting. We chose to go with:
BlueberriesStrawberriesKiwiGrapesBlackberries
Making a Pattern
You can follow my pattern exactly, or you can go with something else. There is no right or wrong answer here. A few tips:
Find the center and put one piece of fruit there.Alternate colors. For example, I wouldn’t do a ring of strawberries and then a ring of raspberries.Slice fruit thin. It makes it easier to decorate and easier to eat.Alternate how you lay fruit. You’ll notice that the kiwi is just placed, but the strawberries are layered. It gives it a nice look.
No matter how you add the fruit, it will be delicious, I promise.
