Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16.5 ounce) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • Flour for dusting
  • 1 (8 ounce) block full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon water or lemon juice
  • 3 to 4 cups assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a floured piece of parchment paper, press cookie dough into a rough circle. Transfer parchment and dough to a 12-inch pizza pan. Press dough into an even 1/4-inch thick circle with a slight rim. Prick all over with a fork.
  2. Bake crust for 10-12 minutes until set and lightly golden at edges. Let cool completely on the pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving the rim bare.
  5. Arrange washed, dried, and sliced fresh fruit in a decorative pattern on top.
  6. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine jam and water. Heat for 15-20 seconds until warm and stirrable. Gently brush or dab glaze over the fruit.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled pizza for at least 1 hour to set. Use a sharp pizza cutter or knife to slice into wedges. Serve cold.

Notes

Ensure crust is completely cool before adding cream cheese to prevent melting. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free spread. The jam glaze adds shine and helps keep fruit fresh. Best enjoyed within 24 hours as the crust will soften. For make-ahead, bake crust and prepare filling separately up to 2 days in advance.
