Ingredients
  

1 package (about 16 oz) of pre-made sugar cookie dough or cookie mix

1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup whipped topping (optional, for added fluffiness)

Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana, and pineapple)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Zest of 1 lemon (for a refreshing zing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.

    Prepare the Cookie Base: Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza stone. Form the dough into a 12-inch circle. Bake according to the package instructions until the edges are lightly golden, which typically takes about 10-12 minutes. Once baked, allow the cookie base to cool completely on a wire rack.

      Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is smooth and creamy. If you decide to incorporate whipped topping for extra fluffiness, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until well blended.

        Spread the Frosting: Once the cookie base has cooled to room temperature, use a spatula to spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface, creating a smooth and luscious layer.

          Top with Fruits: Prepare the assorted fresh fruits by slicing them into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the sliced fruits artfully on top of the cream cheese frosting, creating a vibrant and colorful design for a visual feast.

            Garnish: For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle lemon zest evenly over the fruit-topped pizza. Place fresh mint leaves around the edges for a pop of color and a refreshing aroma.

              Chill and Serve: Once garnished, slice the fruit pizza into wedges. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to firm up slightly before serving.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the fruity delight pizza on a decorative platter, and consider drizzling a little honey or maple syrup over the top just before serving for a touch of sweetness.
