Fresh fruit pizza; This fruit pizza recipe uses a sugar cookie crust, cream cheese, and of course, fresh fruit! You’ll love this fruit pizza dessert!
We eat a lot of popcorn at our house. Sometimes I think our dog was born to be part of this family, because he also loves popcorn.
LOVES.
At least, that’s what I thought. Then, the other day, I dropped some popcorn on the floor before I got it all buttered and salted. The dog walked over, sniffed it, and walked away. Turns out, popcorn is just a great delivery system for what he really loves… butter.
Stinkin’ dog.
I guess you have to give everyone what they want, especially on their birthday. This month, our son The Fruitarian turned 15. And despite the fact that the dog was really hoping for a cake made from peanut butter, bacon, cheese, and of course, butter, I went a different direction for the birthday boy.
I couldn’t think of anything more fitting for The Fruitarian than this fruit pizza.
By the way, whose big idea was it to have cake for every single birthday party ever? Nothing against cake, but I can think of about a dozen things I’d rather have.
I’m just not one of those traditionalists that thinks we have to have cake all the time. I don’t think there’s a single thing wrong with a birthday brownie, pie, cobbler, krispie treat, or fruit covered cookie.
A fruit covered cookie is basically all this is, anyway.
The base of this fruit pizza is a giant sugar cookie. You could make your sugar cookie dough from scratch, using my favorite sugar cookie ever, or you could just cheat and use packaged sugar cookie dough.
I’m not going to tell you which one I used.
But it was the packaged stuff.
The only downside to a fruit pizza birthday cake is where to put the candles. But I think we’ll get over it.

Beautiful fruit pizza! Anyone would be lucky to get this for their birthday.
I love pizza but this looks not only healthy but delicious!
It’s a fruit cookie! 🙂
This loosk fantastic!
Ohhhhhhhh!!!! Fruit Pizza, love of my life! Great pictures. I’m interested as to why you put the lime in the cream cheese frosting?
I actually did not make the cream cheese into frosting, so I used the lime to thin the texture a bit and to give some dimension to the flavor. Plus, I just think lime juice goes great with almost any fruit!
Why is it that I don’t visit your blog more regularly, Jen? I love ALL that I see. This dessert pizza is gorgeous…and I love that you give a shortcut option 🙂
This is a great tray for a large family picnic. I look forward to try it this summer.
This is soo cute and fun! Love all of the colorful fruit and of course the sugar cookie crust!
Did the fruit stay fresh especially the bananas
I definitely make this right before serving it. Bananas get gross fast once they are sliced!

What size pan did this make?
I used a half-sheet pan, which is about 13 x 18 inches. You could also use a smaller cookie sheet, but you’ll need to either cook it longer, or set some of the dough aside.
