This is a sweet, refreshing dessert that's perfect to serve with a variety of fruit all year long.

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 crescent roll 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.

📌Expert Tip: When serving this recipe for a crowd, add the fruit right before serving. That way the cream cheese layer doesn't get watery. I like to have all the fruit prepped and stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator. I add the fruit while the coffee is brewing. Sometimes my guests even like to help arrange the fruit.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Crust
