Perfect for spring celebrations, this easy-to-make dessert combines a baked cookie base with a smooth cream cheese layer and a vibrant variety of fruits arranged in a decorative pattern, finished with a sprinkle of coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 package sugar cookie dough

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice

Toppings

  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unwrap the sugar cookie dough and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Shape Dough: Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch to create the base layer for the pizzas.
  4. Bake Cookie Base: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges turn golden brown, indicating it is fully cooked.
  5. Cool Cookie Base: Remove the baked cookie base from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to avoid melting the cream cheese when applied.
  6. Soften Cream Cheese: While the cookie base cools, take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator to soften, making it easier to mix.
  7. Mix Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange juice for flavor and creaminess.
  8. Beat Mixture: Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring a spreadable consistency.
  9. Spread Frosting: Evenly spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cookie base, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean look.
  10. Arrange Fruit: Decoratively place the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, diced pineapple, and drained mandarin oranges on top of the cream cheese layer to resemble colorful Easter eggs.
  11. Add Coconut: Sprinkle coconut flakes over the arranged fruit for texture and a tropical flavor finish.
  12. Chill Fruit Pizzas: Refrigerate the decorated fruit pizzas for at least 30 minutes to firm up the frosting and meld flavors before serving.
  13. Serve: Slice the fruit pizzas into wedges using a sharp knife and serve chilled for a refreshing and festive dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookie base is completely cooled before applying the cream cheese frosting to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute or add any other fresh fruits based on personal preference or seasonal availability.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the fruit pizzas well and use a sharp knife.
  • These fruit pizzas can be prepared a few hours ahead but are best served the same day to maintain freshness of the fruit.
  • Use parchment paper to make cleanup easier and to prevent sticking during baking.
