For the best results, add canned fruit to the pizza just before serving it.

You can also put the fruit in the refrigerator to allow it to chill while the crust cools. Use another paper towel to pat the fruit dry as much as possible before adding it to the pizza. Drain the fruit in a strainer and place it on a paper towel. With canned fruits, you have to be careful with the water content. Check out the recipe for three ideas for topping the pizza depending on the season and fruits that are available. When fresh summer fruits are hard to come by, I have found there are also fresh fruits available year round and even some canned fruits that work great. I prefer a variety of fresh berries, kiwi fruit, and fresh peaches. Having said that, I do have my favorite fruits that I love to display on this pizza.

I could make a whole fruit pizza with just fresh peaches and it would be the best fruit pizza and it would disappear in seconds. We live in an area where there are delicious fresh peaches available in the late summer. I loved it! It is an especially yummy treat in the summer when the best fruits are easily available from your own garden or fruit and vegetable stands. My first experience with “fruit pizza” was at a Pampered Chef party years ago. The pizza can be sliced like a regular pizza or cut in smaller squares for serving. Any kind of fresh fruit can be used to design the top of the pizza. The sugar cookie crust can be homemade or store bought.
This Fruit Pizza Recipe is a dessert pizza made with a sugar cookie crust, a cream cheese frosting layer, and fresh fruit toppings.
