Sugar Cookie and Fruit Pizza

Fruit Pizza Kids, finish up your spinach, because this dessert is worth it! Parents, it’s not exactly healthy, but you can load it up with tons of fresh summer fruits, at least! This beautiful sugar cookie fruit pizza recipe is made from packaged rolled-out sugar cookie dough, a layer of cream cheese and topped off with some sweetened fruit. Vegans, try this lighter vegan fruit pizza recipe which is just as quick and easy to prepare, using vegan ingredients. My friend Stephanie also makes a similar recipe using peanut butter cookie dough for her incredibly lucky kids, and drizzles her fruit pizza with chocolate sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 18 -ounce package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 4 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 16-ounce can sliced light peaches, drained (reserve juice)
  • 7 large strawberries
  • 1-2 kiwis
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.Cut cookie dough into slices and arrange on a 12-inch pizza pan, coated with non-stick spray. Press slices together to form a solid crust. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Crust is done when edges begin to brown.

Beat cream cheese until smooth; add sugar and whipped topping. Spread evenly over cooled crust. Top with peach slices, strawberries, and kiwi.

Combine 1/2 cup reserved peach juice, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Cook until thick. Drizzle over pizza and chill.
