A few months back I was in Colorado and I had dinner with some girlfriends one night. It was a potluck-style dinner – those are my favorite – and one of the girls was serving up Fruit Pizza for her dessert. I wasn’t a fan of crusts, but I tried it.

I was so impressed it took me by surprise! It literally melted in my mouth! I immediately knew there was something different about this Fruit Pizza than the ones I had eaten before. What was it?

The crust! It wasn’t a typical crust! I gently inquired…and found out it was a sugar cookie dough, rolled into a large rectangle to create a crust. Genius! Inspired by the delicious concoction, I ventured out to recreate it for myself. So, here we are!

Let’s make an Easy Homemade Fruit Pizza

For the crust, make your favorite sugar cookie recipe ahead of time. I cooked the cookies all at once and then allowed them to cool for a couple of hours. Normally I do NOT have the necessary restraint to allow for proper cooling time, but this time I made them right before I ran an errand, so I had no choice but to leave them at home to cool while I was gone. The added bonus to this was that when I returned home the whole house welcomed me with sugary smells.

Step 3

Line up the cookies on a platter and prepare to assemble the Individual Fruit Pizzas.

How to serve this yummy fruit pizza

Once completed, set the platter out and allow everyone to grab their own. Make sure you grab one too because they’ll get snatched up quickly!

If you don’t have many guests (or children) to serve the pizzas to, then I suggest you only assemble as many as needed. The icing and fruit will usually keep in the fridge for up to a week and even if you run out of these, the sugar cookies are tasty enough on their own as an after-dinner treat, or a midnight snack!
