Fruit Pizza – Key Ingredients

▪ Crust – There are two different options for the crust, sugar cookie dough or crescent roll dough. If you don’t want it to be to sweet then use the crescent dough. I prefer the sugar cookie crust, it holds up really well to the weight of the fruit and compliments the flavor of the sauce.
▪ Sauce – Raspberry sauce is my favorite, but you can make just about any flavor that you’d like. You’re only limited by what flavors of yogurt that are available.
▪ Toppings – Sliced berries, kiwi, bananas, mangoes and pineapple are all delicious options. I would stay away from any citrus fruits, they are watery and will make the dough soggy.

How to Make Fruit Pizza

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Using your hands press the cookie dough into the bottom of an ungreased baking sheet. Score cookie dough with a knife, so the cookie will break apart easily.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown and the center is firm. Allow to cool completely.
4. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and the yogurt until it’s smooth.
5. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie dough.
6. Top with sliced fruit and coconut. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Variations to the Recipe

• Chocolate Raspberry – use chocolate cookie dough for the crust, raspberry yogurt for the sauce and top with raspberries and chocolate syrup.
• Banana Split – use chocolate chip dough for the crust, cool whip and cream cheese for the sauce and top with bananas, strawberries, pineapple, cherries and chocolate syrup.
• Blueberry Delight – use sugar cookie dough for the crust, blueberry yogurt for the sauce and top with fresh blueberries and lemon zest.

Serving Suggestions
