A quick and easy oh-so-yummy way to serve up summer fruit!
(This recipe has been modified on 6/2022 to reflect changes made to the homemade crust.)
Like in this SCRUMPTIOUS fruit pizza I recently whipped up for Sunday brunch!
I tweaked the recipe a bit and omitted the sour cream in the crust. Because I was trying to go a bit more on the ‘lighter’ side. But everything else is pretty much the same except I cut the recipe in half to create a 12″ crust instead of cookies.
And that creamy oh so dreamy frosting? Well, I changed that a wee bit too. I kept the cream cheese and yogurt base. But I decided to use Vanilla Greek yogurt instead of the plain and omitted the extra sugar and vanilla.
But you’ll never miss it because there is plenty of natural sugar in all that fruit!
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
how to make fruit pizza:
PREPARE THE CRUST:
Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add in the egg and vanilla. Mix until dough begins to form.
Spread the dough out on a greased 12″ pizza pan. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350°. Remove from the oven and set on a baking rack. Allow the crust to cool completely.
PREPARE THE FROSTING:
Beat together softened cream cheese and vanilla yogurt until light and fluffy. Set aside.

As I mentioned this recipe is super versatile and you can use any combination of fruit you wish! Mix it up.
For a patriotic spin just use raspberries or strawberries and blueberries. Or for a summer party top with kiwi and pineapple and peaches!
Regardless of what fruit you put on this pizza, I guarantee one thing. It won’t last long.
It never does in our house anyway! In fact, I don’t remember ever having to worry about storing it. But if you are here are my tips!
- Keep in mind the crust and the fruit will get a bit soggy past that time frame. So don’t store the pizza any longer than 2-3 days.
- I like to cut mine into pieces and lay them flat in an air-tight container.
**You could also make the crust up and bake it. Then freeze until ready to assemble.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
This sounds amazing!! My granny used to fix one similar but she used refrigerated sugar cookie dough. It was good but I can’t have all that sugar now. I’ll definitely be trying your homemade crust! And how fun that you can pick the berries yourself!! That makes it all worth it.
I hope you’re doing well my friend!
Thank you so much, Michelle! When Melissa was little I used to make the pizza with store-bought cookie dough too! It was SO easy and well, yes, we didn’t worry so much about sugar, LOL! I hope you enjoy the recipe! It’s became a brunch staple around our house!
