Fruit Pizza Recipe

You can slice it like a pizza. You can eat it like a cookie. You can call it a salad if you squint and ignore the frosting.

What Is Fruit Pizza

Fruit pizza is a dessert that looks like a pizza but tastes like summer.

The base is a giant sugar cookie.
The middle is a cream cheese frosting.
The top is your favorite fruit, sliced and ready to party.

It’s simple, colorful, and easy to serve. You don’t need any fancy baking skills. You just need a mixing bowl, a pan, and maybe some willpower.

Great for birthdays, holidays, potlucks, or days that end in “y.”
