Easy Fruit Pizza

1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened

1 8 oz. container whipped topping

1/2 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Sugar cookie crust

Bake a large sugar cookie crust on a pizza pan or baking sheet, using your favorite sugar cookie recipe (or use a refrigerated dough to make life really easy). Allow to cool.

Combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and whipped topping using a mixer. Add vanilla. Spread topping on cooled sugar cookie crust.

Top with your favorite fruit. Cut into slices and share with friends.

Fruit ideas: strawberries, peaches, bananas, mandarin oranges, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, apples, grapes, kiwi, pineapple.

Chef’s Note:

A fruit pizza makes a colorful dessert that is perfect for spring. I made this recipe last spring with a party of  8 girls (age 10). They had a blast decorating their cookie pizzas in teams and then devouring them.

For a more elegant presentation: serve the topping on individual sugar cookies and allow your guests to add the fruit toppings of their choice!
