Ingredients

For the Fruit Pizza Base

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

For the Cream Cheese Base

  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Fresh Fruit Topping

  • Assorted fresh fruits like strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, grapes, mangos, or bananas

For the Fruit Juice Glaze

  • 1 cup clear fruit juice (apple, pineapple, or white grape)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugar Cookie Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line a 12-inch pizza pan or similar pan with butter, cooking spray, or parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract, beating well. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a very soft dough forms. Spread the dough evenly on the pan, slightly bringing it up the sides if possible. Bake for 20 minutes until edges are golden brown. Cool completely.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  3. Make the Fruit Juice Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine fruit juice, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer 1-2 minutes, stirring until thickened to syrup consistency. Remove from heat and cool completely.
  4. Assemble the Fruit Pizza: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust, leaving a small border. Arrange the fresh fruit decoratively on top. Spoon the cooled fruit juice glaze evenly over the fruit. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to set the glaze.
  5. Cut and Serve: Slice the fruit pizza with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Serve chilled for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use firm fruits such as kiwi, grapes, berries, and peaches to avoid a soggy crust; avoid overly watery fruits like melon.
  • Let the sugar cookie crust cool completely before assembling to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; note the crust may soften slightly as it absorbs juice.
