Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 package Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet

Cream Cheese Topping

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Fruit Topping

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped kiwi
  • 1/2 cup halved grapes
  • 1/4 cup blueberries
  • 1/4 cup raspberries
  • 1/4 cup blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the dough base.
  2. Bake Dough Base: Roll out the crescent dough sheet onto a 1/4 sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely, which takes about 1 hour.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy, creating a sweet and flavorful spread.
  4. Spread Cream Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over the cooled crescent dough base, creating a luscious layer for the fruit topping.
  5. Prepare Fruit: In a large bowl, add all the prepared fruits – sliced strawberries, chopped kiwi, halved grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries – and gently toss them to combine the flavors.
  6. Assemble Fruit Pizza: Pour the mixed fruit evenly over the cream cheese layer on the dough base, ensuring a colorful and balanced distribution.
  7. Serve: Cut the fruit pizza into 12 squares and serve immediately for a fresh, delicious dessert experience.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • You can substitute or add other fresh fruits based on seasonality or preferences.
  • Serve immediately after assembly to keep the fruit fresh and the crust crisp.
  • If desired, chill the fruit pizza briefly before serving for a cooler treat.
