Description
Delightful, colorful individual fruit pizzas shaped like Easter eggs, featuring a soft sugar cookie base, tangy cream cheese frosting, and a vibrant mosaic of fresh fruits, perfect for spring celebrations and Easter gatherings.
Ingredients
1 (16.5 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups assorted fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, grapes), washed and dried
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Unroll the sugar cookie dough onto a lightly floured surface. Using an oval-shaped cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches long) or a knife to free-hand cut, create 12 egg shapes. Carefully transfer the cookie eggs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them an inch apart.
Step 3: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. Do not overbake. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until just incorporated.
Step 6: Once the cookie eggs are completely cool, spread an even layer of the cream cheese frosting over the top of each cookie. Do not spread too thickly.
Step 7: Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting in decorative patterns, resembling colorful Easter eggs. Get creative with different fruit combinations and colors.
Step 8: Gently transfer the decorated fruit pizzas to a serving platter. For best results, chill the Easter Egg Fruit Pizzas in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for a smooth frosting. Chill the fruit pizzas for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
