Easy Fruit Pizza

Easy Fruit Pizza

Recipe to Make with 3-4 Year Old’s! Eating fruit is an important part of a healthy diet, and pizza is a fun way to add a serving of fruit to dessert! Fresh fruits work best in this recipe, but in a pinch, thawed, frozen fruits will also work well!

Ingredients:

1 pkg. refrigerated, sliceable sugar cookies, sliced (16.5 oz.)

1 pkg. cream cheese, softened (8 oz.)

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

4 cups assorted fresh fruit (kiwi, strawberries, canned mandarin oranges)

Instructions

  1. Heat over to 375º F (190º C).
  2. Line 12-inch pizza pan with aluminum foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
  3. arrange cookie dough slices in single layer on bottom of prepared pan and have your child gently squish them together to completely cover the bottom of the pan.
  4. Bake 14 minutes; cool completely. Flip the cookie crust upside down onto a plate to remove it from the pan, then turn it over so it’s right-side-up again. Note: we used a prepared graham cracker crust as a quick alternative to the sugar cookie base.
  5. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until blended, spread onto crust. Top with fruit. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Quick Tip! This recipe is a fun alternative to traditional desserts. Involve your child by asking them to help was the fruit and arrange fruit on top the pizza. If children enjoy different fruits, try making individual, mini pizzas so each child can customize their own!
