To me this recipe looks like summer. It tastes like summer. Fresh berries, peaches, kiwi on a gigantic cookie, spread generously with an amazing cream cheese frosting. This is love, my friends. I’ve made a recipe like this with a brownie base, and now it’s time to use a giant cookie! I have to say, the sturdy cookie base might be a favorite for me.

The recipe below for the frosting makes about 2 to 3 cups of cream cheese frosting. I did not use the entire thing on my cookie, but you could use the leftovers as a dip for fruit, or even better, make some cinnamon rolls, or strawberry rolls if you have some of those strawberries left. Use the remaining frosting to slather all over the rolls. You’ll be in heaven!

Ingredients

  • Flour – Use all-purpose.
  • Leavener – Both baking powder and baking soda. If you’re going to use one or the other, use baking powder.
  • Salt – Use more or less as you prefer.
  • Sugar – Both granulated sugar and icing sugar.
  • Butter – I like to use unsalted so that I have full control over the sodium.
  • Egg – I used a large egg.
  • Vanilla – Extract, paste, or fresh vanilla bean.
  • Cream cheese – Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to make mixing easier.
  • Toppings – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, peaches.

How to make fruit pizza

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the cookie dough: In a mixing bowl whisk the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. In the bowl of your mixer add the sugar and butter, then beat for a few minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until the flour is no longer visible.
  3. Shape the cookie: Take the cookie dough and form it into a ball. Place it over the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the ball into a round large cookie, or any shape you prefer. The cookie should be at least 1/4 of an inch in thickness.
  4. Bake: the cookie for about 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool completely.
  5. Make the frosting: In the meantime make the frosting by beating all the frosting ingredients in a mixer. Add more powdered sugar until you get the desired consistency.
  6. Arrange: Once the cookie is completely cooled slather with the cream cheese frosting. I used about 2/3 of the frosting. Refrigerate the rest. Top with fruits and berries. Slice the fruit pizza with a pizza cutter or a large knife.

What else can I top my fruit pizza with?

Fruits

  • Bananas*
  • Pineapple
  • Apple*
  • Sliced cherries
  • Mango
  • Blackberries
  • Orange segments
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instead of cream cheese frosting

  • Nutella
  • Custard
  • Pudding
  • Whipped cream
  • Buttercream
  • Dulce de leche
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Jam

*If you use these fruits, make sure to toss them with lemon juice beforehand to prevent them from becoming brown.

How to store leftovers

This fruit pizza is best enjoyed within a day or two of making it. Store the cookie on a plate covered loosely with plastic wrap in the fridge. This will help prevent some sweating from the fruits. If you plan on having leftovers, you can make multiple smaller cookies and decorate them when you’re ready to enjoy them to help the ingredients last longer.

The cream cheese icing will last 3 days refrigerated stored in an airtight container. The cookie will also last 3 days, sealed in an airtight container, bag, or wrapped with plastic at room temperature.

Instructions 

Cookie Crust

  • Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl mix together the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your mixer add the sugar and butter and beat for a couple minutes until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated. Add the flour and mix for an additional 2 minutes. Take the cookie dough and form it into a ball. Place it over the prepared baking sheet. Roll the ball into a round large cookie or any shape you prefer. You might need to add some more flour over your roll or over the cookie so that it doesn't stick.The cookie should be at least 1/4 of an inch in thickness.
  • Bake the cookie for about 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden. Let it cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Make the frosting by beating all the frosting ingredients in a mixer. Add more powdered sugar until you get the desired consistency. It should be thick enough to spread over the cookie.

Assemble Fruit Pizza

  • Once the cookie is completely cooled slather it with the cream cheese frosting. I used about 2/3 of the frosting. Refrigerate the rest.
  • Top with fruits and berries in your favorite pattern.
  • You can slice the fruit pizza with a pizza cutter or a large knife. Serve and use leftover frosting for dipping.

This recipe is seriously good. My grandkids can make it with just a little help with the mixer and oven. They love picking out the fruit and decorating the pizza. A winner.

Great recipe. Your “frosting “ recipe is what I use for stuffed french toast.If you have left over frosting, Spread between two pieces of bread, dip in egg mixture and serve with fresh fruit.

Can you use almond flour instead of all purpose flour?

Almond flour will give you a very grainy and crumbly texture! I’d suggest gluten-free flour instead.

This worked out better than other fruit pizza recipes I tried. It could be picked up by little fingers. I only used 2 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting.

I make this all the time! People LOVE it! However, when I make it my fruit seems to get the cookie soggy around the edges. I have tried washing and cutting the fruit the night before and letting it dry, but still every time I make it the edges get soggy and there is a syrupy substance on it. Any suggestions rather than bringing my cookie naked and dressing it when I get to my destination?

That’s a tough one. Most fruits are 90%+ water, so it’s pretty much inevitable that they’ll make the cookie soggy after a few hours. Use fruits like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, that have skins to protect the cookie. Otherwise, I would wait until I got to my destination to decorate.

Is there any way to use just a bit less sugar or will that throw off the texture? I don’t want to use any sugar substitutes though. Thanks!

Hi. Would canned fruit work as toppings? I was thinking as long as I let the fruit sections drip dry? Thanks.

Hey there! Is there any chance the baking soda and baking powder amounts should be switched? It could be that I doubled the recipe… but my cookie looks like a deep dish pizza in the making! Haha!! It tastes fine though; just thought I’d ask :):)

Hi LaRetta,
The amounts are fine, there’s only 1/2 tsp of baking powder, your cookie shouldn’t have risen so much while baking. Could it be you made it too small so it ended up thicker? Mine was really 14 inches in diameter.
