Fruit Pizza with Sugar Cookie Crust

Sweet Fruit Pizza with Sugar Cookie Crust has been a family favorite for years! It has fruit piled onto a soft and chewy sugar cookie crust and dreamy cream cheese frosting. This classic summertime dessert is perfect for warm-weather parties and gatherings!

Fruit pizza is woven into my childhood in the same way that double stick popsicles, sunny days running through the sprinklers, and lazy afternoons watching clouds roll by on a hot bouncy trampoline are. It was written into my story, my life, and my family. My mom is the queen of the kitchen and her fruit pizza is something we all still crave to this day.

This is not that recipe. This is the sugar cookie version, and it is the one my own kids know and love. If you want my mom’s oat crust with that dreamy pudding topping, be sure to check out that recipe too!

Ingredients For Fruit Pizza

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to pull this fruit pizza together. The cookie crust relies on pantry staples, the cream cheese frosting uses just three ingredients, and the fruit topping is entirely customizable. Here is everything you will need:

Sugar Cookie Crust

  • Unsalted Butter: Creamed with sugar to form the rich, tender base of the cookie crust.
  •  Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the dough and helps create those slightly crisp edges on the baked cookie.
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds a warm, classic flavor that complements the cream cheese frosting. 
  • Almond Extract: Just a small amount gives the sugar cookie its signature bakery-style flavor. 
  • Egg: Binds the dough together and contributes to the soft, chewy texture. 
  • All-Purpose Flour: The main structure of the cookie crust.
  • Baking Powder: Gives the cookie a gentle lift so it bakes up thick rather than flat.
  • Cornstarch: The secret to an extra soft and tender cookie that stays chewy even after cooling.
  • Cream of Tartar: Helps stabilize the dough and contributes to the signature tang of a classic sugar cookie.
  • Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances all the other flavors in the crust.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Cream Cheese: The tangy, creamy base of the frosting that keeps it from tasting overly sweet. 
  • Unsalted Butter: Beaten with the cream cheese for an extra smooth and spreadable consistency.
  • Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and thickens the frosting to the perfect spreadable texture.

Fresh Fruit Topping

  • Kiwi: Sliced into rounds or half-

Grilled Strawberry Nutella Croissants

If there is one thing that makes a summer barbecue feel extra special, it is ending it with these Grilled Strawberry Nutella Croissants. This grilled dessert comes together in just three minutes and tastes like something you would order at a fancy brunch spot.

Buttery, flaky croissants straight off the grill, slathered with rich chocolate hazelnut spread, piled high with fresh strawberries, and finished with a cloud of whipped cream.

It started with those beautiful buttery croissants from Costco, a jar of our favorite hazelnut spread, and a carton of fresh strawberries, and somehow this magical combination was born.

And can we talk about Costco for a second? You walk in for croissants and walk out having spent three times your budget on dark chocolate blueberry quinoa crisps and things you absolutely did not need but cannot live without. Just us? Didn’t think so.

Ingredients For Grilled Strawberry Nutella Croissants

You only need five ingredients for these grilled Nutella croissants, and every single one of them pulls serious weight in this recipe.

  • Croissants: The buttery, flaky base of this whole dessert. A good quality croissant makes all the difference here, so splurge on the bakery ones if you can.
  • Salted Butter: A light smear on each half before grilling gives the croissant those gorgeous golden grill marks and an extra layer of rich, buttery flavor. Unsalted butter also works in a pinch.
  • Chocolate Hazelnut Spread: The star of the show. Spread generously over the warm, grilled croissant so it melts into every flaky layer, for that dreamy, indulgent chocolate-hazelnut flavor.
  • Strawberries: Fresh, juicy, and sliced thin for the perfect bright and fruity contrast to the rich chocolate spread. Use the ripest berries you can find.
  • Whipped Cream (optional): The finishing touch. Light, airy, and the perfect cool contrast to the warm grilled croissant.

Five ingredients, three minutes, and one completely unforgettable dessert. You are welcome.
