Have you ever tried Fruit Pizza? We love it! This year I decided to make it for our Family Home Evening last night to go along with our Patriotic Lesson. It was a hit. And the best part is that it is super easy to make.
Simply take your favorite sugar cookie recipe, I used this recipe here, and then roll out your cookie dough into a nice circle. Place the dough onto a round pizza baking sheet and bake in the oven at your recipes temperature for about 12-15 min. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Frost the cookie with your favorite cream cheese frosting or Cool Whip and then top with the fruit of your choice. (I used a cookie cutter to get a nice star shape and then used that to make the blueberry star).
I love this dessert, but especially in the summer as it is light and refreshing. We have also made these before on individual round cookies. Then had a sort of fruit pizza cookie bar. We had various cut, fresh fruit and let each person create their own by picking and choosing the fruit combination on their individual cookie. Such a fun idea for showers too!
YUM!

Yum, yum, yum! I can't wait to try a few of these out for the weekend. All of these look SO good and like so much fun!
As always Amy, great ideas!!! Wondering if you would share your FHE lesson? We are headed to Grandparents on Sunday for the 4th and was just starting to get to that on my to-do list. I'd love it if you would share on your site or an email.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for all the wonderful cooking ideas. My question, in the past when I have made fruit pizza (at least a couple of times) I always like the cream cheese frosting. However, every time I make it from scratch, I can't get it smooth. Instead it has little bitty lumps in it. Any suggestions on how to beat/mix cream cheese until smooth.
Wow – those are just amazing. I love everything you do and your pictures are always so spectacular.
You are the best!!
XOXO

I just found your lovely blog from Chaya's…I'm glad I did because your blog is wonderful! Your fruit pizza is beautiful and is something my whole family would enjoy…it's going on my list for our Fourth of July party! :)
Great ideas! Now that we will be in town this weekend (after a cancelled beach trip due to big storm) I will need to make some festive treats.
How funny! I'm doing a fruit pizza "bar" tonight! I've got all the fruit in my fridge and just pulled out sugar cookies from the oven. This is one of my favorite things to have at a get together!
I love these 4th of July ideas, thanks! We are busy packing to move next weekend so I guess I will have to wait till next year to try them out. p.s. I'm following you now:)
Love your site, great recipes. :) Thanks for sharing. I stumbled upon your site while looking for 4th of July recipes. :)
