What is a fruit pizza?

Well in the case it’s a cookie that is decorated to look like a pizza but is actually a sweet variety that is topped with fruit.

Fruit pizzas usually have a sauce that is cream cheese and then the toppings are fruit and other sweets. This is definitely not a savory pizza recipe, it is fully in the dessert camp!

Can I make these cookie pizzas in advance?

You can always make the cookies and wait to top them if you want to prepare them in advance. In my experience these are best served the same day since the fruit and the cream cheese will get a little less appealing the longer they hang around uneaten.

Prepping the cookies in advance and decorating them or “topping” the pizzas before serving is an easy solution to that problem if you need to make them ahead of time.

Kitchen Essentials for Making Delicious Dessert Recipes:

It’s never a bad idea to have some of these kitchen essentials on hand. They’ll come in handy for making more than just these cookie pizzas, I promise!

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are a must when doing cookie recipes which can stick to cookie sheets and make a general mess!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixerspatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!
