Easter Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

One of the things we love most about Easter time is gathering around the table for an amazing meal with friends and family. But let’s face it, the best part about the meal is all the beautiful and delicious Easter desserts!

From classic Easter desserts like Carrot Cake Cupcakes to the ever so traditional Easter Bunny Coconut Cake, there is always something for everyone.

While thinking ahead about what I wanted to make this year, I was trying to come up with a sweet treat that would use fresh seasonal fruit.

Then I remembered this quick and easy Fruit Pizza recipe. It’s a great recipe that’s a huge hit anytime I bring them to a party or backyard BBQ. Using that recipe as inspiration, I decided there was no better way to celebrate the season than with an Easter egg shaped dessert pizza!

So, with a slight alteration made to the shape of the crust, these little egg-shaped fruit pizzas turned out simply stunning. The colorful fruit glistens against the delicious cream cheese frosting and sugar cookie base making a gorgeous presentation!

Easter Egg Fruit Pizzas Variations and Add-ins

• We used a packaged sugar cookie dough you get at the grocery store, but if you have a favorite homemade cookie dough recipe, you can certainly use it. You can also you a bag of your favorite sugar cookie dough dry mix and make them according to package directions.
• We made these in the shape of an Easter egg, but you can make all sort of different shapes with this recipe. Use different cutters, like a bunny or chick to change the pizza shape up.
• For an extra fruity flavor, you can add a thin layer of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer before adding the fruit.
• To add a little citrus flavor, add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese filling. You can also add in a touch of fresh lemon juice to the cookie dough before baking.
• If the kids are helping you make these fruit pizzas, you know you will have to bring out the sprinkles. In between the rows of fruit, add some pastel sprinkles! You can never have enough color…or sprinkles!
• Who says you have to use sugar cookie dough? You can make these fruit pizzas with any of your favorite cookie dough flavors. You can even use chocolate chip cookie dough!
