Peach and Blackberry Fruit Pizza

Perfect for summertime, this peach and blackberry fruit pizza has a soft sugar cookie crust topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit.

I feel like most people have this crazy obsession with pizza, and I don’t really get it. Don’t get me wrong—I love a good slice of Neapolitan-style Margherita pizza on a summer night. But unlike most people, I don’t find myself craving pizza that often. I can go a few weeks or even months without grabbing a slice, and I don’t think twice about it.

Dessert pizza, though? Whole different story. I’ve always said that dessert is the best part of any meal, and for me, dessert pizza is the best kind of pizza. I’ve been known to enjoy a Nutella pizza from time to time, and fruit pizza always brightens up my day.

This summer, I have been really loving going to the Union Square Greenmarket and picking up fresh produce. Lately, the peaches have been looking delicious, so I knew I wanted to whip something up with them!

I decided to make this peach and blackberry fruit pizza, and it might have ruined all other fruit pizzas for me. I promise I’m not just being dramatic (although I feel like I am always a little dramatic by nature). With a soft sugar cookie crust, thick cream cheese frosting, and fresh fruit, this is a pizza I can get on board with.

When I think of fruit pizza, I always picture it at the center of the table at an outdoor BBQ or a pool party. I have fond memories of grabbing a slice of it by the pool when I was younger, and it feels quintessentially like summer to me.

While you can make fruit pizza with any kind of fruit, I really like how peaches and blackberries pair together. They offset the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting perfectly. Plus, this recipe gives you an excuse to use up all those peaches you buy during the summer. Or am I the only one who buys ten peaches at once?

Also, I promise I won’t judge if you use premade sugar cookie dough instead of making it from scratch. You can easily grab a log of cookie dough from the store and use that for the base of this fruit pizza. Sometimes you’re running late and you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Regardless, I can guarantee that this blackberry and peach fruit pizza won’t last long at your next summer gathering. Just make sure you grab a slice for yourself first!

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or sheet tray and set aside.
2. Make the sugar cookie crust: In a large bowl with an electric mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment), cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and egg, scraping well once incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add all the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients at once and mix only until just combined. Once combined, cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and press it into an even, flat circle on the tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
4. Let the cookie crust cool completely before assembling the fruit pizza.
5. Make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl with an electric mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment), cream together the cream cheese and unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract, powdered sugar, salt, and milk. Mix everything together until the frosting is smooth and free of lumps.
6. Assemble the fruit pizza: Once the cookie crust has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting on top of it using a knife or offset spatula. Arrange the peaches and blackberries as desired on top of the cream cheese frosting. Cut the fruit pizza and serve.

Notes

1. If you would prefer the fruit pizza to be a little less sweet, I would recommend halving the cream cheese frosting. It will still make enough to cover the entire cookie crust, but it won’t be quite as sweet.
2. If preferred, you could buy a log of sugar cookie dough at the store and use that for the cookie crust.
