\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nFRUIT COOKIE PIZZA INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h2>\nYou only need four basic ingredients to make a fruit cookie pizza:<\/p>\n
\n- One batch of my <\/strong>Healthy Sugar Cookie Dough<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> I\u2019ve reduced the sugar so it\u2019s just sweet enough, but not overly sugary! The crust turns out soft, tender, and chewy.<\/li>\n
- Cream Cheese + <\/strong>Honey<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> This is the \u201csauce\u201d for our pizza, which is lightly sweetened and perfectly tangy.<\/li>\n
- Fresh Seasonal Fruit.<\/strong> SEASONAL is the key word here<\/a>. Whether it\u2019s spring, summer, or winter, there\u2019s always fresh fruit perfect for fruit pizza. Plus, buying in-season fruit saves us money<\/a>, too!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
SEASONAL FRUITS PIZZA<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe fruit you put on fruits pizza depends heavily on the season. The more variety you choose, the more colorful fruit pizza you end up with! And the more flavor!<\/p>\n
My favorites are fresh summer berries like fresh strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. But don\u2019t limit your creativity. There are so many tasty options beyond fresh berries!<\/p>\n
In spring and summer, choose fruits like:<\/p>\n
\n- Apricots<\/li>\n
- Bananas<\/li>\n
- Blackberries<\/li>\n
- Blueberries<\/li>\n
- Cherries<\/li>\n
- Mango<\/li>\n
- Peaches<\/li>\n
- Plums<\/li>\n
- Raspberries<\/li>\n
- Strawberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In fall and winter, try these fruits:<\/p>\n
\n- Apples<\/li>\n
- Bananas<\/li>\n
- Cranberries<\/li>\n
- Grapes<\/li>\n
- Kiwi<\/li>\n
- Mandarin oranges<\/li>\n
- Pineapple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cut smaller fruits in half and thinly slice larger fruits for the prettiest fruits pizza. You can also use canned fruits, but make sure to drain them really well first.<\/p>\n
HOW TO MAKE FRUIT PIZZA<\/strong><\/h2>\nMaking a healthy fruits pizza is as simple as baking the crust, making the sauce, and topping it with fresh fruit!<\/p>\n
Step 1. Prepare the cookie dough crust.<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare the Healthy Sugar Cookie dough<\/a>. Press the dough into a 9\u00d712 sheet pan<\/a> or 12-inch pizza pan (not one with holes). Bake for 10-13 minutes, until the cookie is light golden brown. Let it cool completely.<\/p>\n\n![\"Two](\"https:\/\/dontwastethecrumbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HEALTHIER-SUGAR-COOKIES-STILL6-1024x1024.jpg\")
\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nStep 2. Mix up the cream cheese frosting for fruit pizza.<\/strong> Combine the cream cheese and honey<\/a> in the bowl<\/a> of a stand mixer<\/a> and beat the cream cheese mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Spread it evenly over the cooled crust.<\/p>\n\n![\"Cream](\"https:\/\/dontwastethecrumbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Healthy-Fruit-Pizza-4.jpg\")
\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nStep 3. Top the pizza.<\/strong> Layer the fruit over the cream cheese. Decorate however you wish, with whatever fruit you have!<\/p>\nStep 4.

\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMAKE AHEAD RECIPE FOR FRUIT PIZZA<\/strong><\/h2>\nThere are two main ways you can make this easy fruit pizza recipe a day ahead of time:<\/p>\n
\n- Prepare the cookie dough, but don\u2019t bake it.<\/strong> Just put it in the freezer or fridge, unbaked. The next day, press the dough into the cookie sheet<\/a> and bake.<\/li>\n
- Prepare the ingredients separately.<\/strong> Bake the crust, mix the icing, and prepare the fruit, but don\u2019t actually assemble the pizza.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fruits pizza is best when eaten the day it\u2019s assembled, so if you\u2019re hosting company, I recommend assembling it an hour or so before they arrive, especially if you\u2019re using fruits that oxidize (turn brown) once sliced, like apples or bananas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You can brush the top with lemon juice to help prevent browning. Covering in plastic wrap will also help if you have to bring it to a potluck or picnic!<\/p>\n
However, my family and I enjoyed this fruit cookie pizza the next day too! Cover and store<\/a> leftovers in the refrigerator. The cookie crust and the fruits get a little bit softer, but it\u2019s still perfectly delicious!<\/p>\nHOW TO MAKE FRUIT DESSERT PIZZA COOKIES<\/strong><\/h2>\nWant to make healthy mini fruit pizzas?<\/p>\n
If you want to make individual soft sugar cookie bases instead of one big pizza, follow the instructions in the Healthy Sugar Cookies Recipe<\/a> to cut and bake the cookies \u2013 I suggest using your largest circle cookie cutter for this one.<\/p>\nLet them cool completely before icing and decorating.<\/p>\n

\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMACRO-FRIENDLY FRUIT PIZZA RECIPE<\/strong><\/h2>\nThis fruits pizza has a good balance of fat (from the cream cheese frosting) and carbohydrates (from the crust, and possibly from the fruit, depending on which you choose).<\/p>\n
Notice what\u2019s missing?<\/p>\n
The protein.<\/p>\n
But since this is a dessert<\/em> pizza, chances are you\u2019ll be enjoying it after a meal. Make sure to include plenty of lean protein in your meal and track your fats and carbs, and you can easily make a slice of sugar cookie pizza fit with your macros.<\/p>\n
