    Fruit Pizza

    Published: Apr 16, 2021 by Janessa

    I make Fruit Pizza for Easter every year, and every year I declare that it is my favorite dessert. It is fun to make and is customizable for whatever fruits you want to use. I really don't know why I don't make it more often!

    Fruit Pizza - The Nessy Kitchen

    The Ingredients

    • Crust
      • Butter- Salted or unsalted butter can be used.
      • Whole Wheat Flour- All purpose flour also works.
      • Sugar- Brown sugar can be used instead.
    • Icing
      • Cream Cheese
      • Icing Sugar
      • Vanilla Extract
    • Toppings
      • Sliced Fruit- Use your favorite fresh fruit and berries for decorating. I don't recommend using apples, bananas or any other fruit that browns quickly. Canned oranges and pineapple are fine to use- just be sure to drain them first. Thawed frozen fruit can be used but the juices may bleed a bit into the frosting. For reference, I used:
        • Tart One
          • ½ cup sliced (¼ inch thick) strawberries
          • 2 sliced (¼ inch thick) kiwi
          • ½ cup sliced (in half) red grapes
          • ½ cup canned mandarin oranges, drained
        • Tart Two
          • 1 cup sliced (¼ inch thick) strawberries
          • ½ cup canned mandarin oranges
          • ½ cup sliced (in half) red grapes
    • Optional Glaze- To be honest, I almost always leave this off, but it does give the fruit a nice shine and finished look to the dessert.
      • Peach Jam- Another favorite flavor will work (strawberry, apricot, etc.) but darker jams and jams with a lot of seeds will be visible.
      • Water

    The Method

    1. Make base. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
    2. Prepare your fruit. I like to assemble the fruit first on a plate to get an idea of my design and then transfer it to the pizza.
    3. Make frosting.
    4. Decorate pizza.
    5. Make glaze if using.
    6. Cover and chill.
    7. Slice and serve.

    Make Fruit Pizza Ahead

    The base can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cover and store at room temperature. The entire dessert can be assembled up to 1 day ahead. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

    Leftover Storage

    Cover and store leftover fruit pizza in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    Dietary Notes

    If you have dietary restrictions, check the packaging of specific ingredients that you use to ensure they are compliant. This recipe is:

    • Vegetarian

    Alternate Baking Pans

    If you don't have a spring form or tart pan, you can use a regular 9 inch round cake pan or pie dish. Line with parchment paper for easy removal for cutting once chilled. You can also double the recipe and bake on a 12 inch pizza pan. If you use a glass pan instead of metal, the baking time will likely increase.

    • Prepare your fruit. Drain canned oranges, wash berries, slice kiwis and strawberries and set aside. I like to assemble the fruit first on a plate to get an idea of my design and then transfer it to the pizza.
    • In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, vanilla and icing sugar until smooth. Spread over the crust.
    • Top the pizza with the prepared fruit. Get creative!

      When I saw the picture I thought this look so pretty and delicious and probably hard to do. Then when I look at the recipe it looks simple enough that I thought I could do it and I did and it came out beautifully. All the guests like it , I was really proud of myself . I really like the part that I can use the fruit that I like and arrange to the design that I want. It was really fun to make.
