A quick, no-bake fruit pizza for two featuring a sugar cookie crust, creamy cream cheese base, and fresh spring fruits like strawberries, kiwi, and blueberries. Perfect for a light, fresh dessert or snack on busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–8 store-bought sugar cookies or 6 oz pre-made sugar cookie dough
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (75g) strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup (75g) kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (40g) blueberries
  • A few sprigs fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust (5 minutes): Arrange store-bought sugar cookies side-by-side on a 7-8 inch serving plate to form a round pizza base. If using cookie dough, roll out to ¼-inch thickness, bake according to package instructions, and let cool completely.
  2. Make the cream cheese base (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream or Greek yogurt and beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust (2 minutes): Use a spatula to evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie base, smoothing to the edges.
  4. Slice and arrange the fruit (5-7 minutes): Thinly slice strawberries and kiwi. Arrange strawberries in a circle on the cream cheese layer, then layer kiwi slices, and sprinkle blueberries on top. Garnish with chopped mint leaves.
  5. Chill and serve (optional, 10 minutes): Chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld and cream cheese firm up slightly, or serve immediately.
