Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 2 pcs kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 0.5 cup blueberries
- 0.5 cup mandarin orange segments
- 0.25 cup apricot jelly
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the sugar cookie dough onto a large, round pizza pan to form a crust. Press evenly to ensure an even thickness throughout. If using pre-cut cookies, press them together to form a single sheet.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, creating a smooth layer.
Decorate the pizza with an assortment of fruits. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and mandarin orange segments in concentric circles or a fun pattern of your choice.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jelly and water over low heat, stirring until melted and combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Using a pastry brush, gently glaze the fruit on the pizza with the apricot jelly mixture. This will give the fruit a beautiful shine and help preserve freshness.
Refrigerate the fruit pizza for about 1 hour to set before slicing and serving.
Cut into wedges and enjoy your Fanciful Fruit Pizza as a refreshing dessert or snack!
