FRUIT PIZZA RECIPE
This is a classic dessert that I’m excited to eat year round! It’s so versatile.
WHAT IS A FRUIT PIZZA?
A fruit pizza is a sugar cookie crust topped with cream cheese frosting and assorted fruit.
HOW TO MAKE THIS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 10×15 baking dish with parchment paper.
- For the crust: In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, almond extract and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined.
- Press dough into the baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges begin to have a touch of golden brown. Do not overbake! Remove from oven and let the bars cool in the pan. Cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, and vanilla and beat until creamy. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice if desired. Beat until fluffy.
Frost cooled bars.
Let chill in the fridge and topped with desired fruit. Store in the fridge until serving. Cut into squares to serve. Best served the same day.
CAN I MAKE IT IN A DIFFERENT SIZED PAN?
Yes. You can make this in the following pans:
- 9×13 baking dish for a thicker bar – Bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Pizza Pan – Bake for 15-18 minutes.
