Easy Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

As we are getting close to summer (and school starting, boo hoo!) I’ve been dreaming of ways to use up the last bits of fresh berries and fruit from the season. I made this fruit pizza earlier in the summer, but it’s the perfect dessert to end the summer too. I love using fresh fruit when I can, even though frozen is available year round, there are certain desserts that just can’t be made with frozen. Only fresh will do. Getting this fruit from the local farmers market would be the perfect way to top this fruit pizza and I might even try and make it a few times in the next few weeks so I can get the most of this season that I can. Anytime I can extend summer I will!

The topping on this yummy homemade sugar cookie pizza crust is a light, creamy, sweet cream cheese frosting. Then, topped with fruit and an apricot glaze it is so good! If you wanted to make this even easier to make, just use a store bought cookie sugar dough and skip the apricot glaze. But the extra effort is worth it! Trust me!
