- Frosting – Mix in some fresh fruit in the cream cheese frosting for added color and flavor.
How to Make Easter Egg Fruit Pizza
Step 1. Form the dough into an egg shape by rolling out the dough on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Then bake the cookie in the oven based on the package instructions until golden brown. Let the cookie cool completely on the pan at room temperature.
Step 2. While the cookie cools, make the frosting in a large bowl. Use a handheld mixer or stand mixer and beat together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Then add in the powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Add in the vanilla extract and combine.
Step 3. Carefully spread the cream cheese frosting on top of the cookie.
Step 4. Then decorate the egg with the colorful fruit. It would be delicious served with Slow Cooker Chocolate Fondue Recipe.
How to Decorate Fruit Pizza
After the cookie has cooled to room temperature, spread the cream cheese frosting over the cookie. You can make the layer of frosting as thick or thin as you prefer.
Then begin adding the cut up fruit onto the cookie in anyway your prefer. We like to keep it uniformed for an eye pleasing Easter Egg Cookie.
Pro Tips
- Shaping the Cookie – You can shape the cookie into an egg before baking or after. We shaped it before baking so do what you prefer.
- Fruit – We loved using all different types of fruit. Get creative and cut the fruit so it fits on the cookie perfectly.
- Cool Cookie – Make sure to allow cookie to cool before decorating it.
- Mixing Cream Cheese Frosting – We recommend using a stand mixer or hand held mixer to combine the ingredients.
- Spreading the frosting – Spread the frosting so that if fully covers the cookie. This will allow all the fruit to stick to the cookie.
- Serving – We like to prepare and serve the Easter Egg Cookie. This keeps it from getting soggy and we think it taste better.
Storage
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3-4 days.
FAQs
We used a prepared Pillsbury sugar cookie dough to use as our crust. But you can make homemade sugar cookie dough if you prefer. It requires baking powder, granulated sugar and cream of tartar.
Making homemade sugar cookie dough does give it a thicker, softer crust. You may even like the texture of the homemade sugar cookie crust, but the prepared sugar cookie dough works just as good. Feel free to use your favorite sugar cookie dough.
Store leftovers in the fridge and it will last about 2 days.
You can use the fresh fruit I chose or feel free to change it up. That’s the beauty in this recipe! Make it your own and personalize it to what suits your taste. We like to choose fruits that are the best for what season we are in.
Some of my favorites include:
Clementine’s
Strawberries
Blueberries
Raspberries
Peaches
Kiwi
Grapes
Bananas
Apples
Pears
Yes, you can use canned fruit just make you drain the fruit properly. Drain the canned fruit in a strainer. Then place fruit on a paper towel to remove an excess water.
We recommend adding the canned fruit right before serving. These are the canned fruits that we prefer:
Mandarin Oranges
Pineapple Chunks
Slice Peaches
Pitted Cherries
