SUBSCRIBE BY EMAILSugar Cookie Fruit Pizza is perfect right now: it’s party and picnic time, people! If you want to delight a crowd with a dessert that’s easy to make, try my Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza. Top it with your favorite fruit and arrange it in your own special way for a pretty “pizza.”
Summer is here! Are you ready for fun in the sun? Entertaining kids? Hosting barbecues? This sweet treat will be your new go-to treat that’s easy to make and so fun! This cookie/pizza is one you can make any way you’d like!
Heading to a party and need something to bring along? Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza will be a crowd favorite!
Another great dessert for last-minute parties or guests stopping by is my recipe for Grilled Angel Food Cake with Roasted Blueberries. It’s so convenient because once you’ve got your grill going for the main dish, you can use it to make a great dessert, too!
This Sugar Cookie Dessert Pizza is vibrant and colorful enough for any party. I use my favorite sugar cookie recipe for the base. It’s the same recipe I use to make Mini Sugar Cookie Cups with Lemon Curd, and Cinnamon-Pretzel Crunch Cookies.
What makes this dessert so easy is that you can use whatever fruit you have on hand, and arrange it however you’d like. It’s a fun project for the kids to help with, too. I used some canned fruit like Mandarin oranges, as well as fresh fruit like kiwi and blueberries.
You could get really creative and make a red, white, and blue design, too (strawberries or raspberries with blueberries or blackberries). If you don’t want to decide, just make two dessert pizzas!
I’m telling you, this dessert pizza is super easy: a sweet and simple sugar cookie followed with a cream cheese and Greek yogurt spread and topped with your favorite fruit. It doesn’t get any more delicious!
Try this Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza to take, or to serve, at your next party or picnic. Everyone will be thrilled (and will probably ask for an extra slice)!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose baking flour
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 5 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1-2 tablespoons powdered sugar, to taste
- 3 tablespoons toasted coconut
- Fruit of choice: I used canned Mandarin oranges (about 1/3 cup), 4 kiwi (sliced), and about 1/3 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cream the butter with a mixer for about 1 minute.
- Combine the sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a small bowl, and whisk.
- Add the dry sugar mixture to the butter, and blend for about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and blend until smooth.
- Add the flour to the mixture, a little at a time, and blend until the flour is incorporated.
- Press the dough onto the pizza pan to almost the edge of the pan. Use your fingers to press it out evenly.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven let it cool completely.
- Once cool, transfer to a round platter that’s slightly larger than the crust.
- In a mixer, blend the softened cream cheese. Fold in the yogurt and combine. Add the powdered sugar and combine. Taste, and adjust as needed.
- After the crust has completely cooled, spread the mixture over the crust in an even layer, out to the edges.
- Arrange the fruit over the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve, cut into slices.
