Easter Egg Fruit Pizza is a festive sugar cookie fruit “pizza” with strawberry cream cheese frosting topped with fresh berries. You can make it super simple with a sugar cookie mix or make it from scratch.

Gathering Ingredients:

To begin your Easter Egg Fruit Pizza adventure, gather the following ingredients:

• Sugar Cookie Mix – I like to use the Pillsbury “Purely Simple” sugar cookie pouch. You could also make them or use a roll of pre-made dough.
• 8 ounces cream cheese – softened to room temperature.
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• Butter – melted & cooled.
• Egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract– use REAL vanilla extract. I know it’s pricey, but it’s worth it. I like to buy it at Sam’s or Costco in bulk.
• Fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and any other desired fruit for topping
• Optional: Shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or other toppings for decoration

Preparing the Sugar Cookie Crust:

• Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the sugar cookie dough package or recipe.
• Roll out the sugar cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into an oval or egg-like form to resemble a giant Easter egg.
• Bake the cookie dough according to the package instructions or recipe until it is golden brown and fully cooked. Allow it to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
• Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
• Spread the strawberry cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a border around the edges for a decorative touch.

Decorating with Fresh Fruit:

• Wash and prepare your fresh berries, slicing strawberries and arranging them along with other berries on top of the frosting to create a colorful and festive design.
• Get creative with your fruit placement, arranging slices and pieces to resemble Easter eggs or other springtime motifs.
• Optional: Sprinkle shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or other decorative toppings over the fruit for added texture and flavor.

TIPS TO MAKE THIS EASTER FRUIT PIZZA A SUCCESS

• Remember to grease the pan and the cookie fully stuck. Don’t forget to grease the pan!
• The shape held up better when cutting the egg shape after baking the cookie, but feel free to shape the dough into an egg before you bake it. Either way works!
• Don’t take any shortcuts with the fruit. Just leave fresh berries and this recipe really lets you showcase your favorites.
• Kicking up the cream cheese frosting by adding in some fresh strawberries which makes it a really pretty pink color (naturally!).

And there you have it, ladies—the recipe for a delightful Easter Egg Fruit Pizza that will add a touch of sweetness and beauty to your springtime celebrations.

With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this festive dessert is sure to become a favorite among family and friends as you gather to rejoice in the spirit of Easter.

So roll up your sleeves, preheat your oven, and let your creativity shine as you bring this delightful creation to life. Here’s to cherishing moments of togetherness and joy during this special season!
