Chef’s Tips

• Let the cookie base cool completely before spreading yogurt to avoid it soaking into the base.
• Swap vanilla yogurt with low-fat cream cheese for a creamy twist, and add a bit of lemon zest to brighten the flavor.
• Use parchment paper or nonstick spray to make cleanup easier.
• Chill the assembled fruit pizza for an hour before serving to enhance flavors and set the yogurt layer.

Ingredients

• 1 roll sugar cookie dough: This serves as the base of your fruit pizza. Pre-made dough makes this recipe quick and easy.
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt: Acts as the “sauce” for the fruit pizza; use plain Greek yogurt for a tangier option.
• 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced: Adds sweetness and a pop of color. Be sure to slice them thinly for even coverage.
• 1/2 cup blueberries: A classic pairing with strawberries, these add a burst of juicy flavor.
• 1/2 cup raspberries: Delicate and slightly tart, perfect for balancing the sweetness of the yogurt and cookie base.
• 1/2 banana, sliced: Provides a creamy texture and mild sweetness. Slice just before assembling to avoid browning.
• 1/2 cup granola: Adds crunch; you can use store-bought or homemade.
• 2 tbsp honey: A light drizzle enhances the sweetness and ties all the flavors together.
• Additional favorite fruits (optional): Blackberries, kiwi, pineapple, or mango can be added for variety.

Substitutions

• Use Greek yogurt for a tangier, protein-packed base.
• Replace granola with chopped nuts for extra crunch.
• Try flavored honey, like lavender or orange blossom, for a unique touch.

Storage

• Best served fresh and assembled right before eating.

• If making in advance, keep the base, yogurt, and fruit toppings separate. Assemble just before serving for best results.

FAQs

Can I use other fruits?
Yes! Blackberries, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, grapes, oranges, or mangoes work wonderfully. Choose fruits that hold their shape and structure well, avoiding overly juicy ones.

How do I keep the fruit pizza from getting soggy?
Ensure the cookie base is completely cool before adding the yogurt. Assemble shortly before serving to maintain freshness and texture.

Can I freeze this recipe?
No, freezing is not recommended as the fruits and yogurt will lose their texture when thawed.
