Fruit Pizza is an irresistible summer dessert that comes together quickly and easily. A giant soft and chewy sugar cookie is topped with a sweet buttercream frosting and decorated with fresh berries and colorful pre-made macarons. Fruit pizza is the tastiest way to enjoy fresh and juicy summer berries.

Perfect for potlucks, barbecues, and summer gatherings, this fruit pizza will be your new go-to dessert. This recipe starts with our favorite homemade sugar cookie dough. You can save time and use store-bought dough, but this homemade version is a cinch to make and tastes utterly delicious.

The dough comes together in one bowl and bakes on a GoodCook Crisper Pizza Pan. Bake until the edges turn golden and the center is still slightly soft. Cool the cookie entirely while making the frosting.

This frosting has a smooth and creamy consistency which makes it easily spreadable. Whip softened butter with electric beaters or in a stand-up mixer, adding vanilla at the end. Start adding powdered sugar one cup at a time. Adjust the sweetness to your liking, adding more powdered sugar by the cup if it’s not sweet enough. For a silky smooth texture, add milk, one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Use a GoodCook Spatula Spreader to frost the cookie. We used a combination of fresh, vibrant berries and colorful store-bought macarons for toppings. There’s an endless possibility of combinations when decorating your cookie. Wash the blueberries and strawberries in a GoodCook Colander and pat dry with a paper towel or clean dishcloth. Leave some of the strawberries whole and slice some in half. This gives your fruit pizza a fun and dynamic look that your guests will love.

We use a GoodCook Ceramic Paring Knife for fruit prep. Sprinkle blueberries and place strawberries on top of your frosted cookie. Leave some space for bright and cheery store-bought macaron cookies. You can leave some of them whole or cut in half and place them around the top of the fruit pizza.

Dusting powdered sugar and a garnish of mint leaves give this dessert a stunning finish. The sugar cookie base and buttercream frosting can be made several days ahead if needed. Wrap the baked cookie crust tightly in several layers of plastic wrap. For the frosting, refrigerate in a container with a lid that seals tightly. We recommend slicing the fruit the day you plan to eat it.

With the GoodCook line of kitchen accessories, it’s easy to make this beautiful extra-large cookie. Its soft, chewy texture and rich vanilla flavor have won us over! You’ll need a GoodCook Crisper Pizza Pan to bake up the cookie, and we love the GoodCook Spatula Spreader for frosting. Are you ready to get decorate this stunning treat?
