You can also use your hands to press the dough evenly on the pizza pan or stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Pull out of the oven when the edges and top start to lightly brown. Let cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill the dough before baking so it is easier to work with and holds its shape.
  • Make sure the cookie crust is completely cool before adding frosting.
  • Use softened cream cheese for a smooth frosting.
  • Pat juicy fruit dry with a paper towel before adding it to the pizza.
  • Fresh fruit works best. If using canned fruit, drain it well and pat it dry.
  • Avoid watery fruits like melon because they can make the crust soggy.
  • Add bananas, apples, or pears right before serving, or toss lightly with lemon juice to slow browning.
  • Fruit pizza is best served the day it is assembled.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 1 to 2 days.
  • For a shortcut, use refrigerated sugar cookie dough instead of homemade crust.
