  • 1/4 cup blackberries

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  3. Step 3: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent dough base.
  5. Step 5: Combine all the fruit in a large bowl and gently toss to mix.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh seasonal fruits to add variety and enhance flavor.
  • For a tangier spread, substitute half the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Drizzle with honey or a light fruit glaze for added sweetness and shine.
  • Chill the assembled fruit pizza for 30 minutes before serving to help it set.

Storage

Store leftover fruit pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because the crust can soften over time, it’s best enjoyed the same day. Reheat the crust separately if desired before assembling for freshness.

How to Serve

The image shows four slices of fruit pizza arranged on a wooden board. Each slice has three layers: a light brown cookie crust at the base with a slightly rough texture, a creamy white layer of icing spread evenly on top, and a colorful mix of fresh fruits as the top layer. The fruit layer includes bright red sliced strawberries laid across the base, clusters of red raspberries, small blackberries, dark blue blueberries, green kiwi chunks, and a few small red grapes, all placed closely together and slightly overlapping. The background is a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of dough for the base?

Yes, puff pastry or sugar cookie dough can be good alternatives. Just adjust baking times as needed based on the dough type.

How do I keep the fruit from making the pizza soggy?

Be sure to cool the crust completely before adding the cream cheese spread and fruit. Using thick cream cheese mixture also helps create a barrier to prevent sogginess.
