Cream cheese fruit pizza is a favorite in our house all summer long and this version couldn’t be any simpler. It’s colorful, bright, and bursting with fresh fruit goodness!
You guys, I have finally done it!
My husband, the man I’ve been married to for going on 18 years, has finally started eating FRUIT.
He’s always liked bananas, but that’s been the extent of it.
Would you like to save this?
How were we supposed to have romantic date nights ending in feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries if he didn’t actually eat strawberries? He was seriously ruining everything.
And then, one day, he was at a meeting for work and one of the guys brought in fresh strawberries from his strawberry fields. Chad turned down offer after offer of strawberries before someone finally convinced him he was making a huge mistake and now he’s a strawberry lover.
I pounced right on that and started sneaking all kinds of fruit into the rotation and he just eats it all now!
I’m so excited, because one of my all time favorite foods is fruit salad, but I can never eat a whole bowl myself so I rarely make it.
Now? I make it. And it all gets gobbled up by my people and I’m left wondering why I wanted to share my fruit salad in the first place.
I went ahead and turned my fruit salad recipe into a cream cheese fruit pizza recipe and y’all are going to flip for this one.
How to make cream cheese fruit pizza:
The base of this pizza is made of crescent dough, which keeps things nice and easy. Also, everyone loves those cans of crescent rolls, so you know it’ll be a hit. 😉
Bake and cool the crust and then spread on a mixture of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. This is like a cream cheese frosting, but not as sweet and it pairs so well with the fresh fruit salad.
To make the fruit pizza, you’ll just chop chop chop your fruits! I’ve used our favorites here: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries blueberries, grapes, and kiwi.
You can add whatever fruits you love to this mixture – apples, bananas, clementines, peaches, pears, it’s all good!
Just sprinkle the fruit right on top of the crust and you’re ready to go!
We love that this makes basically makes a fruit salad that you can eat with your hands! And it’s so colorful and pretty no one can resist it!

Kelly says
This looks beautiful! So easy and perfect for summer! I’m one of those canned crescent roll lovers! 🙂
Jill Guizlo says
I buy a “tube” of sugar cookie dough (cut and bake at home) and use that for the crust. It makes this sweeter, but I serve it as dessert.
Karly says
Great idea! 🙂
Penny says
I buy a plain pizza crust from Papa John’s and bake that for this recipe. Even easier in my opinion.
Karly says
Oh, that’s smart!

Hi Karly,
Your husband and my husband should meet! I asked mine when was the last time he ate a fruit or vegetable and his response was, “Does pizza sauce count?” Yikes! I will try me husband out on this fruit pizza — I love the variety you chose, it looks so super fabulous!
Karly says
Yessss. Grow up, boys. Eat something green every now and then! 😉
Beverly says
I surprised it didn’t make the crust soft or suggy.

You’re surprised what didn’t make the crust soft?
