Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Cookie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or large baking sheet.
- Mix the cookie dough with flour in a bowl until just combined.
- Press the dough evenly onto your prepared pan, creating a circle about 12 inches in diameter with slightly thicker edges.
Bake the Crust
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for the edges to turn light golden brown.
- The center should look set but still slightly soft.
- Let it cool completely on the pan, about 30 minutes.
Make the Creamy Topping
- Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until no lumps remain.
- Fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract gently with a spatula.
Assemble Your Fruit Pizza
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Pat the fruits dry before placing them.
- Arrange fruits starting from the outside and working inward, creating concentric circles or fun patterns.
Add the Finishing Glaze
- Warm the apricot jam in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until easily spreadable, then strain out any fruit pieces.
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, gently dab the warm glaze over the fruits.
- Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Extra flour helps create a sturdier base. Let crust cool completely before adding toppings. Pat fruits dry before placing to prevent sliding. Store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Doesn't freeze well. Can prepare crust and cream topping 24 hours ahead, but add fruits within 4 hours of serving.
