Recipe Notes
Looking for different fruit combinations? Try an assortment of your favorite summer fresh fruit.
- Canned peaches; completely drained.
- Fresh blackberries
- Blueberries
- Sliced banana; wait until right before serving to add the banana.
- Raspberries
Choose fresh fruit that is not watery. You could use watermelon, but add the watermelon to the pizza right before serving.
Choose only the freshest apples and bananas, but watch out for the pesky issue of browning. Stay ahead of the game by slicing them up and adding them just before you serve this dessert.
If you are going to use canned fruit, make sure you drain it very well. The water will water down the Cool Whip whipped topping

Recipe FAQ
How do you keep the fruit cookie pizza from getting soggy?
Assemble the pizza no more than 2 hours before serving. Make sure the fruit is dry before adding to the pizza. You can do this by placing the sliced fruit on paper towels to absorb any extra moisture.

Storage Instructions
Refrigeration: Add leftovers to an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. This recipe is best served the same day, however.
Freezer: I do not recommend freezing this recipe, however, you can prepare the cookie pizza base and freeze that until you're ready to put the dessert together. Allow the cookie pizza to cool completely before wrapping in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Top Tip
Make sure the cookie is completely cooled before decorating so the whipped topping doesn't melt.
