Here’s how to make it:
🍪 Sugar Cookie Crust
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, beat powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla, almond extract, and egg with an electric mixer (or by hand) until well blended.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- Divide dough in half and shape into 2 disks. Wrap in plastic wrap.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- When ready, press dough into a pizza shape on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 10–12 minutes or until the edges are just golden.
- Let cool completely.
🍰 Creamy Frosting
Ingredients:
- 1 package cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tub whipped cream (Cool Whip)
Instructions:
- Let cream cheese soften at room temperature.
- Mix cream cheese and whipped cream together until well blended. (Tip: It may not get perfectly smooth, and that’s okay! Just smooth it out the best you can on the cookie crust.)
- Spread frosting evenly over your cooled cookie base.
🍍 Fruit Toppings
Our favorite fruits:
- Bananas (add these last to keep them from browning!)
- Strawberries
- Kiwi
- Blueberries
Instructions:
- Slice your fruit thinly.
- Get creative and arrange them in fun patterns on top of the frosted cookie.
- Let the kids help – it’s the best part!
🧊 Pro Tip: Store your fruit pizza in the fridge until ready to serve. It keeps well, but we recommend adding bananas right before serving.
