A quick and easy dessert featuring a soft sugar cookie base topped with a creamy blend of cream cheese and mascarpone, finished with fresh, colorful fruit for a light and delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz / 454 g) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 oz (115 g) mascarpone cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Press the sugar cookie dough evenly onto the pizza pan to form a smooth, even layer about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  3. Sprinkle the top lightly with granulated sugar.
  4. Bake the cookie base for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden and center is slightly soft. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack (30-40 minutes).
  5. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and mascarpone together until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (3-4 minutes).
  8. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
  9. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  10. Arrange the fresh fruit topping in a colorful pattern over the cream layer.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  12. Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
  13. Slice and serve cold, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat slices.

Notes

Cool the cookie base completely before spreading the creamy topping to prevent melting. Use softened cream cheese and mascarpone for a smooth texture. Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid graininess. Dry juicy fruit before topping to keep crust crisp. Chill assembled pizza at least 1 hour before serving. For a firmer crust, chill in freezer for 5 minutes. Fresh fruit is best; if using frozen, thaw and pat dry.
