What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit sliced
- 1 tbsp honey
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Bake the Cookie Crust
Press the sugar cookie dough evenly onto a greased round pizza pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 14 minutes until golden. Let it cool completely before adding any toppings.
Step 2: Make the Frosting
Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust leaving a small border.
Step 3: Arrange the Fruit
Arrange sliced strawberries, mandarin oranges, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, and grapes in rainbow rows across the frosted crust. Work from the outside edge toward the center for the best look.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Drizzle honey lightly over the fruit for extra shine and sweetness. Slice into wedges and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two hours before serving.
