Sugar cookie dough makes a fun foundation for this fantastic fruit pizza. The tender crust complements the sweetened cream cheese and colorful 'toppings'. After you serve up the last slice, be prepared to make another pizza.
I have made this for years and everyone loves it! The secret is to buy a roll of sugar cookie dough--cuts down a bunch on time. Use whatever fruits are in season. Strawberries, Kiwi and mandarin oranges are always a must for us. Their contrasting colors bring this alive. I've recently started arranging the fruit for theme parties--like football teams or NASCAR! Just have fun with it!
Read MoreI didn't really like this recipe. I've tried fruit pizza before and I love it! But I'm not sure what I did wrong. First, the cookie part wasn't as tasty. I think next time I will try making the sugar cookie out of scratch. Second, there wasn't enough cream cheese (for me anyway). I gave it 3 stars because maybe the reason it didn't come out good is my inexperience in cooking.

This is one of my all-time favorite desserts (high praise from a card-carrying chocoholic). I always use strawberries, bananas, kiwi, peaches, and blueberries. The key is to get as many contrasting colors as possible. Also, I have never used any kind of glaze on this as so many of the recipes suggest. If you squeeze a lemon over the entire pie, the fruits won't brown. This will enable you to put it in the refrigerator overnight, which makes all of the flavors meld. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
It is no exaggeration to say that my friends beg on their hands and knees for me to make this dessert. I make a double batch each time because it disappears so quickly. It will fill a whole baking sheet nicely. Lightly tap the pan on the counter after pulling the cookie out of the oven for a flat and gorgeous result. I use as many colorful fruits as I can find. Strawberries, fresh pineapple, mandarin oranges, bananas, kiwi, and blueberries scattered throughout work well. Slice fruit THICK and place close to each other for the most flavorful bites. This recipe makes me a hero and you can be one too!
I remember making this with my mom and sister when we were little! I made it today for my family and it tasted just the same - perfect! I think this will be a dessert that we continue to make frequently! UPDATE: If you are like me and you have both an aerated pizza pan and a solid one, USE THE SOLID PIZZA PAN! I used the aerated one by mistake the other day and I can't tell you what fun it was to clean up sugar cookie from all over the bottom of my oven.
Save yourself time and simply use a tube of pre-made sugar cookie dough! The cream cheese filling is soooo good. I took this to an Indy 500 party, and it was the very first thing gone!!
I've made this many times over the years, my mom passed down the recipe. What I like is that I can use different fruits in it. I've used cherry pie filling, bananas, blueberries, raspberry, even white grapes. doesnt matter what you put on it, its awesome! I'm not a fan of orange marmalade, but it all mixes in nicely.
FAST way to make this and it is still amazingly delicious. I baked the sugar cookie crust. While it was cooling I threw together the cream cheese and whipped cream and blended it with my hand mixer. I spread this out evenly over the cooled crust. Then I made an amazing design of fruit: sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, whole raspberries and canned mandarin oranges in juice, NOT syrup. It is an explosion of color and absolutely beautiful. Fewer ingredients make this very easy if short on time or energy. Chill 30 min. Be sure to slice ALL the way through the crust to the pan before serving. It is excellent! Recipe can also be doubled for a cookie sheet size 'pizza'.
EXCELLENT!! Huge hit at the luncheon with the ladies. They all loved it. It's one of my favorite summer desserts. I added a few more varieties of fruit because tis the season for beautiful berries. Thanks for the tips! i will definitely make again.
I have been wanting to try one of these for sooo long, and what better time than summer? My guests were so impressed! My only suggestion is not to leave off the marmalade at the end, it makes the perfect glaze!
I've made this beautiful dessert several times. Blueberries are awesome on it, as are other seasonal fruits. It's a crowd pleaser- and will get eaten quite fast at a potluck. Make sure to get a piece!
I loved making this as much as I did eating it! It turned out really pretty and tasty! I didn't use the drizzle on the top so that might have been the reason it seemed just a little dry...but whip cream on top made it a lot more creamy! Yummmmmmmmy!
Made this to take to a family BBQ today. Very good. I only had peach preserves, so heated that up a bit w/ the water and once cooled down, used a pastry brush to put over all fruit. It made it quite shiny and pretty. I used strawberries, fresh pineapple, blue berries, raspberries, bananas and kiwi. Good and pretty!! Except for the kiwi in the very center, it was all red, white & blue for the 4th of July weekend!
Not crazy about orange, so I used apricot preserves instead for the glaze. Made one with the glaze and one without. They were equally devoured and adored. A beautiful and easy dessert to serve company.
love it! so simple, but yet so delicious; exactly as i had made it for thanksgiving two years ago as I adapted it from a recipe of paula dean's. :)
great end result.... IF YOU LET SET IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT to let flavors meld. Only gave 4 stars b/c the crust is such a pain to roll out and the recipe is quite time consuming for the end product, would make again for a special occassion
This was awesome... I added a small container of cool whip to the cream cheese and whipped in my mixer until smooh as other suggested. I added very little sugar and omitted pineaple and used blueberries instead. I also baked the cookie dough and let cool completely before adding topping. Everyone RAVED about it.. it was so yummy and easy!
This fruit pizza is awesome. I have made 8 of them for 3 different occasions and it has been the hit of the party with everyone asking for more. We will be making this often.
Very good! I used strawberries, blueberries, kiwi and pineapple. Got rave reviews at the 4th of July picnic. The orange marmalade is a must. It was a little thick with only 1 T. of water, so I added a little more water to make it easier to drizzle. Waited until shortly before serving to drizzle over top. Also, I baked the cookie dough on a pizza stone, leaving it in for about 4 minutes longer than recommended. Baked very nicely. I will definitely be making this again!
This fruit pizza turned out great, and my husband and I loved it. I do prefer making a homemade crust, but had some store bought sugar cookie dough to use, so I used that. The filling is perfect and the combination of fruit is great, a little sweet and a little tart with the kiwi and pineapple. The glaze made everything "shine", and I used apricot preserves instead of orange marmalade. I would definitely make this for a large crowd, as it makes a large pizza that starts to get soggy after the second day.
This is so awesome!! Had this for dessert last night and it was a big hit. The cream cheese filling definitely hits the spot.
This was fan-tas-tic! I made this for Easter over at a friend's home and everybody loved it- nobody even touched the other desserts there! I followed the recipe exactly but used blackberries and extra strawberries instead of the banana and pineapple. This will be my new "go to" dessert recipe!
Absolutely delicious! I didn't change a thing except used different fruits - I used fresh strawberries, a can of mandarin oranges, and cut up a fresh Gold pineapple. The Gold pineapple was by far the best fruit on the pizza. I wish I had covered the whole thing in pineapple it was that good! Delicious recipe!!
Went over really well at a BBQ, but I didn't love it. I made my own cookie crust using the Mrs Fields Sugar Cookies on this site. I added a splash of orange extract to the cream cheese and I'll tweak it a tinge bit more next time. The cream cheese mix was okay, but needs something. Everyone else raved though.
This recipe is like a simple tart using the store-bought cookie dough as quick and easy crust. The tartness of the fruit (I used fresh fruit, not canned) helps offset the sweetness of the cookie crust. The cream cheese layer is sweetened, but not too sweet. I adapted this recipe for a July Fourth party by doubling the recipe, baking it as a rectangle in a jelly-roll pan, and adding a layer of Cool Whip as the backdrop for the stars (blueberries) and stripes (strawberries). For fruit, I used a layer of thinly sliced FRESH pineapple and bananas over the cream cheese mixture. Then I spread Cool Whip over that fruit layer, and added the flag design using berries. It was a hit at the party!
This is always a crowd pleaser and one of my family's favorite desserts. I made a couple of changes to suit us. I folded in an 8 ounce container of cool whip to the cream cheese mixture. I melted apple jelly (it's what I had on hand) in the microwave and cooled it slightly before brushing on the fruit. It makes the fruit all shinny and pretty Yum!
I want to love this and I am going to experiment with it more...but as this recipe calls for It was just ok. It is pretty though.
AMAZING!! I shaped mine into a heart and added red food coloring to the cream chesse mix to make it pink! It was a big hit! Will make again!!
I made this for my mother for mother's day, and she couldn't stop telling everyone about it! Wonderful recipe that's easy to twist and make your own! :)
Love this! The crust is so rich that it really needs the fruit topping to balance it out. My favorite fruit to add on top is mango! Ps. Make sure the crust is cool before putting the cream cheese mixture top of it.
This was very good although I thought the refrigerated dough was a little too sweet. I forgot to buy the orange marmalade so I left it off and it was great without it. It received a lot of compliments from my guests.
Made this last year and am making again this year for the fourth of July. I make it in a jelly roll pan (11x15) and then use blueberries and strawberries to create a flag. I like the marmalade on top. Nice touch. This time I made my own crust using a sugar cookie recipe. This recipe can be altered to your liking and will be enjoyed by all :)
I didn't really like this recipe. I've tried fruit pizza before and I love it! But I'm not sure what I did wrong. First, the cookie part wasn't as tasty. I think next time I will try making the sugar cookie out of scratch. Second, there wasn't enough cream cheese (for me anyway). I gave it 3 stars because maybe the reason it didn't come out good is my inexperience in cooking.
My daughter has made this twice for the family. It is beautiful and taste wonderful. I just had to have the recipe!
I made this for a party, and everyone thought it was delicious! I did customize it a bit; replacing the vanilla with strawberry flavoring, and using peach preserves instead of orange Marmalade. I think next time I will drastically reduce or omit the sugar in the cream cheese...the sweetness was nearly overwhelming.
This was really great! I made this for a crowd, and it was for breakfast, so I substituted biscuits (in a can) for the sugar cookie dough. I baked the biscuits for the time indicated on the package and then continued with the recipe. This made it less sweet and more breakfast appropriate. I also eliminated the glaze, since other reviewers said it was good without. I made this at night, and sprinkled the fruit with lemon juice, and it kept well. I will definitely be making this again.
I just can't tell you how much everyone went on and on about this. It turned out so pretty and so impressive. I didn't think it was all that good, really. I didn't care for the cream cheese mixture. Of course it was just a personal thing. It was easy to make and did I mention pretty? I used different fruit and I didn't use the orange marmalade (I hate it!). I think if I made it again I would use a different recipe but really there wasn't anything wrong with this one. If you want to impress, make this or something like it!
This is a great recipe to do with kids. I took it a potluck and everyone raved about it, fresh fruit is best but you can use canned just remember to drain it well.
Had this but without the marmalade but was still really good! Thanks for sharing your recipe!:)
I made this with some ladies' for a "cooking group" and it came out tasting wonderful! I would suggest checking the dough after about 7 minutes, as it got almost too done. Also, we omitted the sugar and blended about 10oz. of crushed pineapple with the vanilla and low fat cream cheese. The "sauce" taster wonderful! Can't wait to make this on my own!
mmmmmm! Have made this twice, both times with rave reviews. I used a packaged sugar cookie mix baked in a springform pan (makes for a thick decadent crust). this last time I added a teaspoon of almond extract with the vanilla. Wow! added a whole new level of flavor.
This is a great recipe and a easy to make desert. I've been making this for a few years but instead of drizzling marmalade over the top, I melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the finished pizza.
Thanks to Taste of Home, I have been making this Fruit Pizza for years! I change up the fruit to whatever is in season, and have even used canned peaches or apricots (I just drain them very well & dry them with paper towels). This is often requested by my daughter's Track Team for our team dinners. Therefore, I always make 2!!
Absolutely wonderful! I cheated and bought a package of sugar cookies so the kids in my daughter's 3rd grade class could have individual servings without the teacher having to cut it. I used strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, crushed pineapple, and mandarin oranges. I was tempted to change the marmalade drizzle to a chocolate drizzle, and then decided to leave off the drizzle altogether. It was the best fresh fruit tart ever! I would have preferred a softer cookie, but I was in a pinch and used premade cookies. My fault, not the recipe's. Even being crunchy it was still the best I ever had. I will certainly make this again with different variations just for fun!
This was SO good. It reminds me of the fruit pizza I had when I was little. Nostalgia is a powerful thing! Two thumbs up!
I made this with strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries on top for my co-workers one day and it was gone within 2 minutes. It was fabulous and they ask for it all the time!
Very good! I didn't arrange mine in a nice pattern, just kind of threw the fruit on there. Tasted great anyway!
This is my go-to spring time dessert! It's so versatile & easy! Here are some "secrets" that I've learned in the past. By baking the "pizza" in a fluted edge tart pan with a removable bottom rather than a pizza pan takes the presentation to a whole new level. It literally looks like you bought it from a French Bakery! #2 I recently added 1 teaspoon Gran Marnier to the cream cheese mixture instead of the vanilla. Play around with amounts that you like best...Thanks for sharing Suzanne!
You just can't go wrong with this great crowd pleaser! Easy, yummy and beautiful! Will definately make this again, thank you!
Good recipe, although I don't use the marmalade--the cream cheese mixture holds the fruit and it's sweet enough as it is. I also use spice islands pure vanilla extract...there is a price difference for a reason!! ;) Using a little lemon juice will help if you dip fruits that turn brown such as apples and bananas in them.
Delicious! Family made themselves sick because they couldn't stop eating it! Will absolutely make again. I used strawberries, kiwi and banana- YUM!
Simple and quick. I used mini graham cracker crusts, with blueberries, strawberries, mandarin oranges, and kiwi. Topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Yummy. To die for.
This was great. I made mine with nectarines, blueberries, strawberries and kiwi. Fun, Easy and Fast.
I disliked the glaze. I would have enjoyed this recipe so much more without the glaze....it made the crust soggy in spots, and tasted a little odd to me. I will make this again without the glaze!
My family was very impressed with the whole look of the pizza and loved the taste too. I, like one of the reviewers suggested, didn't use the glaze and it still was great. Although, it would probably be even more impressive glazed. Just a clue here, don't use a 12 in. pizza pan, as the cookie like doubles in size. I used a large pizza stone and it was still rolling over the edges when I took it out of the oven.
I have made this for years. I use the sugar cookie mix (butter, lots of vanilla). Also, I use cream cheese and a small jar of marshmallow creme mixed together. Arrange whatever fruits I want, drizzle with warmed marmalade and sprinkle with coconut (to look like shredded cheese)
Brought this into an office function, it was all eaten up, we all loved it! The longer it sat out it did get a bit mushy so I suggest, eating fast!
All i can say is WOW!! I took this to a BBQ and by the time i went to grab myself a piece it was gone.
Beautiful and impressive, but so easy! Made this for a family get-together, and got rave reviews from all. Use whatever bright colored fruit is best at the time. I used strawberries, nectarines, blueberries and mandarin oranges.
Excellent. Made for Fourth of July cookout. Everyone loved it! It was so pretty. I used strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple. I did not use the glaze. Oh, and I added a tub of cool whip to the sugar and cream cheese.
This dessert has a beautiful refreshing appearance...before cutting it! I made two pans and the cookie dough stuck to both. Trying to pry it up off the pan ruined the presentation. The taste was merely average; the cream cheese mixture was typical. I would not make it again.
I love this recipe. The key (as with any cookies) is to take the cookie dough out of the oven before it looks like its done. This is always a big hit!
Made this for my daughters birthday. Great alternative for a birthday cake. All her little grade school friends gobbled it up too!
I made this without the bananas (I'm allergic) and it came out great. Thanks for the great recipe!
