Step 1: Prepare a pizza crust.
The first step is to lightly spread oil on a 12 Inch pizza tray. Use hands or spatula to spread sugar cookie dough evenly over pizza tray. Make the crust as even as possible to ensure even cooking.
Bake about 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden, in a preheated oven at about 350°F (175°C). Take out of the oven and let the crust cool. It is essential to cool as warm crust can melt the frosting.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
Mix in the following in a mixing bowl softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla essence.
Whip until smooth and creamy using a hand-beater or hand mixer. The frosting should be light, fluffy and easily spread. This is a sweet cream layer to use as a base for the fruit toppings.
Step 3 now it’s time to put together the Fruit Pizza.
When the crust is cool, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust. For a smooth finish use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Leave a small border around the edge.
Step 4: Top with the Fresh Fruits
Top with a layer of cream, and then arrange the fruits attractively on top of the cream layer. You can create circular patterns, rainbow designs, floral arrangements and seasonal fruit combinations
The strawberries add sweetness, the kiwi fruit adds refreshing tang and the blueberries add bursts of juicy flavor. You can add mangos as well!
The colors are striking, and the dessert is a beautiful creation.
Step 5: Refrigerate before serving
Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 1 hour or more then serve!
