Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 package sugar cookie dough (or homemade sugar cookie dough)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping
Assorted fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, etc.)
½ teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
1 tablespoon honey or apricot jam (optional, for glaze)

Full list of ingredients is below.

Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface and use a round cookie cutter (or a glass) to cut out 4-6-inch circles. Place the dough circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add in the whipped topping and mix until well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Fruit Pizzas

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling onto each cooled cookie base, leaving a little edge around the outside.

Step 4: Arrange the Fruit

Now comes the fun part! Slice your fresh fruit into thin pieces and arrange them on top of the cream cheese layer in the shape of Easter eggs or any design you prefer. Get creative with your colors and shapes!

Step 5: Add a Glaze (Optional)

For a bit of shine and extra sweetness, brush the fruit with a light glaze made from honey or apricot jam. This is optional but adds a nice touch.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Cut the fruit pizzas into wedges and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Expert Tips and Tricks

Use a variety of fruit to create a beautiful rainbow of colors on each pizza.
Chill the cream cheese mixture for 30 minutes before spreading it on the cookies for a firmer texture.
Add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese filling for a pop of freshness.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Swap the sugar cookie base for a graham cracker crust for a fun twist.
For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of whipped topping for the filling.
Try different fruits like peaches, pineapple, or grapes if you’re craving a tropical twist.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Easter Egg Fruit Pizzas are a perfect standalone treat, but they pair wonderfully with a glass of fresh lemonade, iced tea, or even a fun fruit punch for a festive touch.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store any leftover fruit pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also store the cookie bases and cream cheese filling separately and assemble them later.

Instructions

Prepare the Sugar Cookie Base:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the softened sugar cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape the dough into an egg shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Fruit Pizza:
- Once the cookie base has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern, such as concentric circles or a random assortment.
Add the Glaze (Optional):
- In a small bowl, warm the honey in the microwave for about 10 seconds to make it more fluid.
- Brush the warmed honey over the fruit to give it a glossy finish and a subtle sweetness.
Serve:
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately.

Notes
