After many years of blogging I think it’s due time that I share a fruit pizza recipe. Besides what better way to start the summer off (even though it’s not officially summer it’s really starting to feel like it)?
This fruit pizza is so easy to make and everyone both young and old alike will absolutely love it! I mean how could it not be loved? It’s a giant, chewy sugar cookie covered with a luscious cream cheese topping, layered with a generous amount of vibrantly flavored fresh fruit and it’s finished with a sweet apricot jam which gives the pizza the perfect finishing sheen.I love the way the sweetened vanilla cream cheese topping compliments both the fruit and the cookie. And this isn’t just any cream cheese topping, this is made with the one and only PHILADELPHIA cream cheese. I swear by the stuff. It’s the only brand of cream cheese I’ll buy anymore, and I recommend it time and time again. I’m not really much of a brand snob but this is one I’m hooked on and you can always find a brick or two, or 8 in my fridge (especially around the holidays).
It makes for the most luxuriously decadent and silky smooth cheesecakes and countless other desserts and it’s consistently reliable. It also adds the perfect touch to those creamy chicken dishes or pastas. I’ve bought other brands in the past and just end with so so results because the consistency or flavor is just off. Never with PHILADELPHIA. And it is just what this fruit pizza needs!
If you’d like to make the crust from scratch here is a homemade recipe I love. If you want it a little thicker you can do 1 1/2 or double the recipe. It’s also delicious to eat plain, just make it as directed then before baking sprinkle colored sugar sprinkles over the top.
