Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

This sugar cookie fruit pizza has a soft & chewy cookie crust, a layer of smooth & tangy cream cheese frosting, and tons of fresh berries. Way easier than making pies or tarts, it’s the perfect dessert for summer.
Fruit pizza is such a quintessential summertime treat. The recipe starts off by making one BIG sugar cookie. It’s soft and chewy because we’re adding a little cornstarch and cream of tartar to the batter. Then it has that perfect sugar cookie flavor thanks to real vanilla extract, a touch of almond extract and because we’re using real butter. In sugar cookies, it makes all the difference.
Then the topping is a sweetened cream cheese mixture. And then the pizza is topped with tons of fresh fruit. I used strawberries, kiwis, blueberries and a few mandarin orange slices – but you could use whatever combination you prefer. I love how the fresh fruit give such a beautiful pop of color, and make this recipe the perfect centerpiece for your summer table.
