How to Make Fruit Pizza
Cinnamon Sugar Crust
The key to makeing a delicious crust for your fruit pizza is to jazz it up and crisp it up so it doesn’t get soggy from the cream cheese filling!
To do this, whip together your butter, cinnamon, and sugar! Then you slather the cinnamon sugar butter on your pizza crust and pop it in the oven and bake it at 400ºF for 6-8 minutes! It is VERY important that you check on your crust every couple minutes to make sure it isn’t over baking!
You want the crust to be golden brown, not burnt! After you pull the crust out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes before adding any toppings.
Cream Cheese Filling
While the cinnamon sugar crust is cooling, whip together your cream cheese filling. This is a two step process! First you whip together your cream cheese and honey in a large bowl until it is thick, creamy, and combined. Then you set it aside.
Then, in a separate bowl, you whip the heavy cream and vanilla on high until you have made whipped cream. You know it’s ready when peaks form.
To make your cream cheese filling, you pour your whipped cream into the cream cheese and honey mixture and carefully fold the two together. Being careful not to flatten or deflate your whipped cream.
When your filling is done, slather it on top of your pizza crust.
Fruit
The fruit is the star of the show! You can choose whatever fruit topping you would like, but just be sure one side of your fruit has a flat side so it can lay flat side down on the pizza.
PLEASE get fancy and make a fun design on the top of the fruit pizza. It just makes it way more fun and it tastes a bit better, too!
Top that cream cheese filling with fruit and enjoy!

Ingredients
Cinnamon Sugar Butter
- 4 tablespoons soften butter
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Other
- 1 12-oz. ultra-thin premade pizza crust (we used this one)
- 2–3 cups sliced fresh fruit
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, prepare the cinnamon sugar butter by placing all ingredients into a small bowl and whipping to combine. Set aside.
- Next, follow the direction on the back of your pizza crust and preheat the oven. Spread cinnamon sugar butter on the top of your pizza crust and then bake following the instructions or until the pizza crust is crispy. We baked our pizza crust directly on the racks of the oven at 400ºF for around 6-8 minutes. Just make sure to watch that it does not burn! Once the pizza is done, set aside to let cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, create the cream cheese filling. Place cream cheese and honey in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip on high for around 30 seconds. Set aside. Next, place heavy cream and vanilla in a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer and whip on medium/high for 4-6 minutes or until stiff peaks begin to form. Transfer the whipped cream into the same bowl as the cream cheese and use a spatula to gently fold them together until combined. Make sure not to over mix or the whipped cream will lose its airiness.
- Once the pizza crust has cooled, assemble the fruit pizza. Spread the cream cheese filling onto the crust and evenly spread it out with a spatula. Then, top it with sliced fresh fruit and mini chocolate chips.
