Once your cream cheese mixture is ready and the cookie crust has cooled, it's time to assemble your Tropical Delight Fruit Pizza. Start by spreading the cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled crust. This step is crucial for both flavor and presentation. Use an offset spatula or the back of a large spoon for a smooth application. Begin from the center and work your way outwards, ensuring you cover the entire surface without exceeding the edges of the crust.

Ingredients
  

1 package of pre-made sugar cookie dough (or your favorite homemade sugar cookie recipe)

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

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

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1 cup fresh kiwi, sliced

1 cup blueberries

1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Zest of 1 lime (for garnishing)

1 tbsp lime juice (to enhance flavor)

Fresh mint leaves for garnishing (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat fully.

    Prepare the Cookie Base: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, roll out the sugar cookie dough into a large, circular shape, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Bake according to the package instructions, or until the edges turn a light golden color, which typically takes around 10-12 minutes. Once baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

      Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whipped topping (if you choose to use it). Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Assemble the Pizza: Once the cookie base has cooled completely, use a spatula to evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cookie crust, ensuring a generous layer.

          Add the Fruit Toppings: Take the sliced strawberries, diced pineapple, kiwi slices, and blueberries, and artfully arrange them on top of the cream cheese layer. You can create beautiful patterns or simply scatter them for a more casual look.

            Garnish: Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the fruit toppings, then drizzle lime juice across the top. Finish with a sprinkle of lime zest for a refreshing touch, and adorn with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of color and flavor.

              Chill and Serve: Place the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and gives it a nice chill before serving. Once ready, cut into wedges and enjoy your vibrant fruit pizza!
