I adore this recipe because it’s both visually stunning and incredibly tasty. The combination of the sweet cookie crust, creamy frosting, and fresh fruit creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Plus, it’s a versatile dessert that can be customized with your favorite fruits and decorations, making it a creative activity as well as a delightful dish.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the cookie base:

• 1 package sugar cookie mix (1 lb 1.5 oz)

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

• 1 large egg

For the strawberry cream cheese frosting:

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup chopped strawberries

For the topping:

• Approximately 3 cups of assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Liberally grease a 13-inch pizza pan and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, I combine the sugar cookie mix, melted butter, and egg, mixing until a soft dough forms.

3. I press the dough evenly onto the prepared pan and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown. After baking, I let it cool completely, about 45 minutes.

4. Once cooled, I cut the cookie into an egg shape using a butter knife or pizza cutter.

5. In a food processor or blender, I blend the softened cream cheese, chopped strawberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

6. I spread the strawberry cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie base.

7. I decorate the top with the assorted fresh fruits, arranging them in a colorful, festive pattern.

8. I slice the fruit pizza with a pizza cutter and serve.

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields approximately 12 servings. Preparation time is about 20 minutes, baking time is 12 minutes, and decorating takes around 15 minutes, totaling approximately 47 minutes.

Variations

• Cookie Base: I sometimes use homemade sugar cookie dough or pre-made refrigerated dough instead of a mix for a different texture and flavor.

• Frosting: For a different twist, I substitute the strawberry cream cheese frosting with a plain cream cheese frosting or add other fruit purees.

• Fruit Toppings: I like to experiment with various fruits such as kiwi, pineapple, or mandarin oranges to add different colors and flavors.

Storage/Reheating

I store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cookie base may soften slightly due to the moisture from the frosting and fruit, but it remains delicious. I do not recommend freezing this dessert, as the texture of the fruit and frosting may be compromised.

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, I often prepare the cookie base and frosting a day in advance. I store the baked cookie at room temperature, wrapped tightly, and refrigerate the frosting. I assemble and decorate the fruit pizza shortly before serving to maintain freshness.

What if I don’t have a pizza pan?

No problem. I use any large, flat baking sheet. After baking, I cut the cookie into an egg shape using a knife or template.

Can I use frozen fruit?

I prefer fresh fruit for the best texture and appearance. Frozen fruit tends to release more moisture, which can make the cookie base soggy.

Is there a way to make this dessert less sweet?

Certainly. I adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the frosting to taste, and I choose fruits that are naturally less sweet or add a bit of lemon juice to balance the flavors.

How can I involve kids in making this recipe?

I find that kids enjoy helping with decorating. I set out bowls of various fruits and let them create their own designs on the frosted cookie base.

Conclusion

This Easter Egg Fruit Pizza is a delightful and versatile dessert that’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Its combination of a soft cookie base, creamy frosting, and fresh fruit topping makes it a crowd-pleaser at any spring gathering. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or simply enjoying the season, this colorful treat is sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
