Ingredients

• 16 oz sugar cookie dough
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup strawberries, sliced
• 2 pcs kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 0.5 cup blueberries
• 0.5 cup mandarin orange segments
• 0.25 cup apricot jelly
• 1 tbsp water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the sugar cookie dough onto a large, round pizza pan to form a crust. Press evenly to ensure an even thickness throughout. If using pre-cut cookies, press them together to form a single sheet.

Step 3

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, creating a smooth layer.

Step 6

Decorate the pizza with an assortment of fruits. Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and mandarin orange segments in concentric circles or a fun pattern of your choice.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jelly and water over low heat, stirring until melted and combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 8

Using a pastry brush, gently glaze the fruit on the pizza with the apricot jelly mixture. This will give the fruit a beautiful shine and help preserve freshness.

Step 9

Refrigerate the fruit pizza for about 1 hour to set before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Cut into wedges and enjoy your Fanciful Fruit Pizza as a refreshing dessert or snack!
