Fruit pizza is basically the dessert equivalent of an adult coloring book—it’s more of an idea than a hard-and-fast recipe, making it super easy to get creative and customize the base, the spread and the colored fruit toppings. Play around and craft your own design, using these easy ideas to help get you started!

What Base to Use for Fruit Pizza

The crust of fruit pizza is super easy to customize based on your preferences. Our favorites are sugar cookie dough, pie crust dough and crescent dough. Aside from tasting delicious, these three products cut way down on the prep time for fruit pizza—scratch dough takes a long time to prepare!—which means planning for parties and potlucks at the last minute just got much easier.

Start with Cookie Dough

Though you can start with any cookie dough you’d like, our favorite cookie dough to use when making fruit pizza is Pillsbury™ sugar cookie dough. Paired with frosting and all kinds of fresh fruits like berries, kiwi and bananas, sugar cookie fruit pizza is perfect for those of you with a major sweet tooth.

Expert tip: You can also make individual cookie-sized fruit pizzas with our Ready to Bake!™ sugar cookie dough for an easy grab-and-go dessert option!

Step 2: Time to make that delicious cream cheese frosting. Simply beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer set on medium speed until the mixture look fluffy. Spread all of the frosting evenly over the cooled crust.
