Everyone loves pizza; savory and sweet. For this fruit pizza, I used refrigerator crescent rolls to form the crust. Then added a sweetened cream cheese frosting followed by an arrangement of fresh and canned fruit.

Bake the fruit tart crust on a non-stick pizza pan. If you don't have a pizza pan, you can use a square pan.

Crescent Roll Fruit Pizza

Using crescent rolls isn't just for savory recipes. Check out my Crescent Roll Fruit Tart recipe that was published many years ago here on the site. I usually make for my daughter's birthday. She loves it in place of a traditional birthday cake.

Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

You can also use pre-made refrigerator sugar cookie dough to make a fruit pizza. I used it for my Flag Fruit Sugar Cookie Pizza and my Fruit Cookie Pizza. Just make sure you undercook the sugar cookie a little. That way the crust won't be tough.

You could also use pizza dough to make a fruit pizza like I did with my Easter Egg Fruit Pizza. Again you pre-bake the pizza dough and then add the toppings.

Another fun option is to make Individual Sugar Cookie Egg Fruit Pizzas for a special holiday brunch celebration.

Tips for Choosing Fruit

Here are a few tips for making the right fruit choices when putting together your own fruit pizza:

• If you're going to use canned fruit, make sure you drain it very well.
• Choose fresh fruit that is not watery. You could use watermelon, but add the watermelon to the pizza right before serving.
• Also make sure the fruit you choose stays fresh for at least a few hours. Fresh sliced apples and bananas are delicious, but you should add those right before serving as well.

Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Unroll and separate the crescent rolls. Lay them flat on top of a round 12" pizza pan pressing the seams together to create one large round pizza dough crust. Use a pastry roller to help.

Baking Instructions

Step 2: Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before adding the cream cheese frosting.

Make the Cream Cheese Filling

Step 3: Beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping, then spread the mixture over cooked and cooled crescent rolls.

Decorate with Fresh or Canned Fruit

Step 4: Finally, add the fruit and arrange in a decorative pattern. Serve immediately. This recipe is best served within an hour or so of making as the fruit juices can bleed into the cream cheese layer.

Storing, Freezing, and Prep-Ahead Tips

Refrigerator: This recipe will store in the refrigerator for about a day; however, it's best served the day you prepare it.

Freezer: I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

Prep-Ahead: You can prep-ahead this recipe by preparing the crescent roll crust and cream cheese spread the day before. Assemble an hour before you want to serve.
