Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 package sugar cookie dough

Frosting

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

Fruit 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 your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sugar cookie base.
  2. Prepare Dough: Unwrap the package of sugar cookie dough and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  3. Flatten Dough: Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the dough into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring consistent baking.
  4. Bake Cookie Base: Bake the flattened dough in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  5. Cool Cookies: Remove the baked cookie base from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before adding toppings.
  6. Soften Cream Cheese: While the cookie cools, take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator to soften, which will make mixing easier and smoother.
  7. Make Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange juice.
  8. Mix Frosting: Beat the mixture using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy for a luscious spread.
  9. Spread Frosting: Evenly spread the cream cheese frosting over the completely cooled sugar cookie, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain the shape.
  10. Arrange Fruit: Decoratively arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, diced pineapple, and mandarin oranges over the frosting to create a vibrant, festive pattern.
  11. Add Coconut: Sprinkle coconut flakes over the fruit for a crunchy, tropical finish.
  12. Chill: Place the assembled fruit pizzas in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set and flavors to meld.
  13. Serve: Slice the fruit pizzas into wedges using a sharp knife and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh fruit according to seasonal availability or personal preference.
  • Ensure the cookie base is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent it from melting.
  • For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese and frosting substitutes.
  • The orange juice in the frosting adds a subtle citrus flavor and helps soften the cream cheese.
  • Chilling the fruit pizzas before serving helps the flavors set and makes slicing easier.
