When it comes to eating, my children aren’t the best eaters. What child is? However, there is one food I can always count on – fruit! No matter what mood my kids are in they never snub their noses at fresh, wholesome fruit. Definitely, something this mother can’t complain about.
Fruits are packed with all kinds of healthy vitamins, mineral, and antioxidants. Yes, I know they have sugars too but when you are comparing it to a candy bar it is a much better option. No doubt!
So when I am going to a candy-filled gathering like Easter, Christmas, or Halloween I opt to bring something semi-healthy. Lord knows my children will already be bouncing off the walls from a sugar high, might as well throw in some nutrients as well. Tasty nutrients!
One of my favorite things to bring to events is this Fruit Pizza With A Sugar Cookie Crust. Yes, it’s not totally healthy but the fruit definitely boosts its nutritional value. Especially when compared to other things. And it’s Oh, so delicious!
Plus fruit pizza has the word pizza in it. You just can’t go wrong with that in the name. You’ll definitely want to whip this up for your next bash!
Fruit Pizza With A Sugar Cookie Crust
Ingredients
- 2 16.5 oz refrigerated sugar cookie dough logs need about 1.5 logs
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz whipped topping
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- variety of fruits Your choice!
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice cookie dough about 1 inch thick and place on a greased pizza pan, leaving about a 1-2 inch border to compensate for expansion.
-
Press dough flat using wax paper. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden. Let cool completely.
-
In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, whipped topping, vanilla, and powdered sugar until thoroughly whipped. Spread onto crust.
-
Decorate with sliced fruits. Arrange in whatever pattern you like.
Recipe Notes
For the filling, you can also substitute a jar of marshmallow crème mixed with the cream cheese.
If you need a visual, check out this video to see just how easy it is to make this amazing looking dessert. Remember, if you use bananas dip them in orange juice (I think this taste better than using lemon juice) so they don’t start browning. I don’t think a browning banana would mix with the overall appearance of this dessert. And this is quite a pretty dessert if I do say so myself!

I can’t believe I haven’t made one of these. I see them a lot and they’re really good. I like berries on them, like blueberries or blackberries, maybe some Mandarin oranges.

Mandarin oranges would definitely brighten up this fruit pizza

I like apples the best. I usually eat 2 apples every night when I go to bed for my snack.
Home Jobs By Mom
That’s great you eat apples so often. They are full of vitamins.
Vanessa S
I enjoy strawberries with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. I think it’s healthier than rummaging through the Halloween candy! Lol
Home Jobs By Mom
Strawberries are def a healthier treat. I do that sometimes but heat them with some no-calorie sweetener and little water to make almost a chunky syrup.
Karen Propes
This looks delicious. I usually eat just fruits since I’m on a diet. But I use to own my own business – Karen’s Cakes and Candies and I made so many different things that I got tired of all the sweets. But I loved it until I had my car accident.
Home Jobs By Mom
I bet you know how to make some awesome treats then. What’s an old favorite of yours?
JoKing
Healthy dessert? My favourite fruit would be mango. I do however like most berries. So I guess whipped cream and berries.
Home Jobs By Mom
I wish I liked mangos more but I don’t. Maybe in a smoothie with other fruits lol.
Sarah Mayer
I love making my own fruit sorbet topped with even more fruit!
Home Jobs By Mom
Do you have a recipe for the sorbet?

I hardly eat desserts anymore. I eat a piece of a dark chocolate candy bar now and then. It is low carb and dark chocolate is healthy for you. I eat fruit, but not in large amounts. My favorite fruits are melons.
Home Jobs By Mom
That’s good you don’t eat too many sweets. My dad is all about dark chocolate too. And I love melons as well.
Calshondra Williams
I’ve always wanted to prepare a Fruit Pizza. I don’t think there’s a fruit I don’t like. I would include- Strawberries, Blackberries, Mangos, Honeydew melon, Kiwi, Pineapples, Peaches, and Oranges. Thanks for sharing.
Home Jobs By Mom
You should try to make this fruit pizza. It’s SO good!

Honey and frozen blueberries mixed in peanut butter is a healthy dessert I enjoy. Recently read about various yogurt recipes, so adding plain yogurt to this might make it even better.
Home Jobs By Mom
Sounds like a great healthy dessert. I’ll have to try that sometime. I love all three of those ingredients!
Alison King
I love this recipe. Fruit pizza is great. I love strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, and bananas.

I love oranges so I’ll have one for dessert.I often just have a few crackers with cream cheese.

I’m weird but it’s hard for me to have crackers and cream cheese without some of that nova salmon lol. Die-hard sushi fan here.

This is one of my favorite recipes. Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t made one of these in many years. They taste sooo good! I like to freeze bananas and mash them up with a bit of milk to make an “ice cream”. I add other fruits too.

That sounds yummy! I like my bananas in smoothies typically.
Jodi Hunter

My kids would pick fruit over cake anyday and this would be perfect for my family! I like to make a simple fruit salad often so this would be a nice change.
Home Jobs By Mom
What do you put in your fruit salad? Does it have a dressing?

I like a good buttery graham cracker crust for these kinds of pies as well. Buttery is always tasty

I make brownies using pureed black beans instead of oil. My family has yet to figure out my secret. They love them!
Home Jobs By Mom
I’ve always been curious about those kinds of brownies. Do they taste like real brownies? Do you have a recipe?

During the summer I absolutely love watermelon. When I can’t get watermelon I like strawberries and I make berry muffins with raspberries and black berries.
Home Jobs By Mom
I love all the fruits you mentioned! Those muffins sound super yummy.
Christina Almond
So yum! I love making dessert balls out of dates and coconut–healthy and easy to make!
Home Jobs By Mom
Is that all that’s in it – dates and coconut? Sounds very healthy.
Christina Almond
Yup! Something like this: https://healyeatsreal.com/coconut-date-rolls/
Home Jobs By Mom
Wow, I’ll have to try that sometime. I like coconut but haven’t been fond of dates. That might change my thoughts.
Maureen
Looks great–allergic to strawberries–which is hard sometimes because all sorts of things have strawberries in them–even a cherry limeade (strange). My favorite fruits are grapes–love them frozen and then also I like pomegranates–love just eating the seeds for breakfast.
Home Jobs By Mom
I totally didn’t know cherry limeade had strawberries in it. That’s weird. I need to try pomegranates again. The sound like something I would like.
Dharma Erazo
I really enjoy banana bread I know own one can make a less junkier & more healthy version of this tasty delight! Also I love pomegranate , strawberries and berries. Another I believe healthy desert would be rice crispy square with healthy ingredients!!
Home Jobs By Mom
I love banana bread too! Do you have a good recipe for it?
Kathleen Ellis
This looks delicious! I like making overnight chai pudding w I th coconut vanilla milk, a little maple syrup vanilla extract maybe dash cinnamon sometimes and you can use honey sugar brown sugar whatever. Eat with fruit like berries yum
Kathleen Ellis
This looks so good!!! I like making chia seed pudding! Chia seeds are so beneficial just remember to always soak them so they don’t dehydrate you! Anyways chia seed pudding is super easy and can be made to any preference and in many ways. Basically you can leave the seeds whole or blend them.. soak in your choice of milk I like coconut vanilla milk sometimes almond or whatever you like as base… add a little whatever mix of sweet (maple honey brown sugar) I like to make sure to add a little maple for flavor with a little vanilla extract. It is to be refrigerated overnight but I like to stir it about every 5-10 min in the first half hour or so.. you get a feel for how you like.. next day it’s good to go and can be paired with fruit I’ve made chai pudding stuffed raspberries for my toddler before it was pretty good ??
Home Jobs By Mom
I’ve never had chia seed pudding before. Totally sounds good. Thanks for the steps. I like to throw chia seeds into smoothies!

It might be about the same health wise with that cookie crust haha! BUT that fruit is much healthier than the other toppings.
