Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 2 medium kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 tablespoon apricot jam
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into a 12-inch pizza pan or onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a crust approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the sugar cookie crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a slight border around the edges to resemble a pizza.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese layer in a decorative pattern. Start by adding larger fruits such as sliced strawberries and kiwi, followed by blueberries and mandarin oranges.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix the apricot jam and water. Microwave for 15 seconds or until the jam loosens. Stir well to create a glaze.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the apricot glaze over the fruit to give it a beautiful shine and to help keep the fruit fresh.
Refrigerate the dessert pizza for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set before slicing and serving.
Slice into wedges or squares and enjoy this vibrant and refreshing treat!
