Have fun with this Easter-themed fruit pizza!
FOR THE FRUIT PIZZA CRUST:
Refrigerated sugar cookie dough
FOR THE STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup strawberry jam, at room temperature
6 oz powdered sugar, (1 1/2 cups)
TO ASSEMBLE:
8 cups assorted fresh fruit, washed and sliced
1/4 cup apple jelly, or other light-colored jelly
1 TBSP water
INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE THE CRUST:
Shape the dough into a large disc and wrap the dough in cling wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour, until firm.
TO MAKE THE FROSTING:
Beat the cream cheese using a mixer until it is smooth and free of lumps. Add the strawberry jam and powdered sugar, and beat until everything is well-mixed.
Taste the frosting, and add more sugar if desired. Remember that it will be combined with a cookie and fruit, so it doesn’t have to be super-sweet on its own. Frosting can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
TO ASSEMBLE:
Spread the frosting in a thin, even layer over the surface of the crust cookie, leaving a small margin around the edges. Layer the fresh fruit over the frosting in the pattern of your choosing—don’t’ be afraid to play with colors and shapes!
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the jelly and water, and microwave for 15 seconds. Stir them together until the jelly is fluid and smooth. It should have the consistency of a thin gel—if it’s still fairly thick, add a bit more water to thin it out.
Use a pastry brush to spread this glaze on top of your fruit. This gives the fruit pizza a lovely shine, and also prevents the cut fruit from looking wilted and tired at room temperature.
Cut the pizza into slices and enjoy! Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This Easter Egg Fruit Pizza is best within a day of assembly.
