How to make a rainbow fruit pizza?
I love fruit pizza that starts with a sugar cookie crust. You can use store bought sugar cookie dough, like I did, or use your own favorite sugar cookies recipe. Instead of making the cookie dough into small individual cookies, you will use the dough to form one giant cookie. You can either make the cookie into a U kind of shaped like a rainbow, or just a circle like a typical pizza.
You could also use a sheet of crescent roll dough, or puff pastry dough, cut out to look like a rainbow.
After the dough is all baked up, you’ll top the pizza with your frosting. I used a homemade cream cheese frosting, because I like how the tangy cream cheese pairs with the sweet fruit. But you could also use a store bought frosting, or even some sweetened whipped cream, or marscapone cheese, or even yogurt.
Spread the frosting all over the top of the crust and then it’s time for the fruit toppings. You can start from the outside and work in or the inside and work out, from the outside you’ll do strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple, kiwi fruit, blueberries, and blackberries.
The beautiful fruit pizza can be cut and serve immediately, or you can cover it and refrigerate it for 2-4 hours before serving. You can make the cookie crust, and the frosting a couple days ahead of time, but the fruit is best if added only a few hours before serving.
You can wrap up the leftovers in an airtight container and store them for up to 2 days, but the fruit quality won’t stay as good, so I recommend eating as much as you can on the first day.
This rainbow fruit pizza is such a beautiful dessert. It’s so perfect for spring time, especially for a baby shower, or bridal shower, or even a spring birthday party.
It’s honestly easy enough to make though, it would be fun just to surprise your kids with it for a tasty afternoon treat.
This rainbow fruit pizza is the prettiest dessert, with the perfect sugar cookie crust, cream cheese frosting, and beautiful rainbow colored fruit toppings.
