5. Canned pizza dough helps reduce prep time on this kid-friendly fruit pizza.

Once the crust cools, layer the frosting and toss your family’s favorite fruits over the top. The author uses kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and bananas. If you use bananas, put them on after the chilling process because bananas oxidize quickly.

While many fruit pizza recipes elect for the delight of different colors and textures from a variety of fruits, this one takes a simpler route to create a lovely dessert that’s perfect for the strawberry lovers in your life.
It starts with a simple sugar cookie crust, the author uses a pre-made cookie dough to save time, slathered with a simple cream cheese frosting, dotted with strawberry halves coated in a thick layer of strawberry glaze.
If you wanted to amplify the strawberry flavor, you could incorporate dehydrated strawberry dust into the cream cheese frosting, which makes it tarter and brings a vibrant pink hue to the frosting.

14. Watermelon is a perfect summer fruit, but it doesn’t usually work on a fruit pizza – unless you make it the crust like in this healthy variation.

16. A classic sugar cookie and cream fruit pizza ready in less than half an hour.
A pre-made sugar cookie dough helps cut down on prep time for this classic fruit pizza. The author uses two for a party-sized dessert, but for a smaller family, a single package is plenty.
The whipped cream and cream cheese frosting has just a touch of vanilla and a generous portion of powdered sugar, so expect a fluffy, sweet layer beneath the pile of fresh fruit on top. You will need to chill this dessert for at least an hour before it’s ready for the table.
17. Glazed with apple jelly, this simple berry fruit pizza pie is an affordable, tasty keeper for your dessert menu.
Pre-made sugar cookie dough, baked on a parchment-lined pizza pan, holds aloft a delicious frosting blended with lemon zest, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla.

19. Brown-sugar glazed and grilled pineapple make this rustic fruit pizza, drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with toasted pecans, worth trying as soon as possible.
Piled over a handmade, grilled pizza crust, this fruit pizza gets a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon-infused whipped cream frosting. Fresh pineapple is coated in brown sugar and cinnamon and grilled until the sugar starts to caramelize.
