Sugar Cookie Easter Egg Fruit Pizza
I had a roll of store-bought sugar cookie dough in the fridge. I don’t even know how it got there, but I wasn’t going to waste it.
Ever since a co-worker back in the 90s brought a fruit pizza to work, I’ve been mesmerized by them! This was my chance to make one! And since it’s close to Easter, why not make it an Easter treat in the shape of an Easter egg?
I was kind of worried about getting the egg shape, because, fancy baking isn’t my skill set.
After letting the cookie dough warm-up, I squished it into a ball. I placed it right on my baking sheet and just rolled it out… and it magically rolled out in the shape of an egg! How lucky was that?
After I baked it, and it was cool, I spread the most delicious cream cheese frosting over the top. From there, it was all about getting creative. I had a variety of fruits in all the right colors.
You really can’t mess this part up. Just channel your creative side and have fun!

What Fruits are Best for Sugar Cookie Pizzas
When I created this Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza to look like an Easter egg, I wanted bright colors. But you can use any of your favorite fruits you’d like. I would, however, avoid any fruits that may be more watery, like watermelon.
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Raspberries
- Kiwi
- Mandarin Orange wedges
- Bananas
- Pomegranate seeds
Can I Make this Sugar Cookie Easter Egg Fruit Pizza Ahead of Time?
Yes and no. You can make up the cookie portion and even frost it ahead of time, then make sure you’ve covered it carefully with plastic wrap. You’ll want to add the fruit the day you’re serving it. Otherwise, placing the fruit on ahead of time could make the cookie portion soggy.

How would you recommend transporting this to a potluck? I took it on the cookie sheet but it was hard to cover with plastic wrap and it didn’t look nice on the cookie sheet.
Kim says
I’ve never tried transporting it, but if I did, I’d probably try to place it in a shallow box (pizza box, cake box) and then use plastic wrap.
Jeanette Beck says
Thank you for sharing this. Mine turned out great! I made it the day before because we were having Brunch and I wouldn’t have time in the morning. And it was not soggy at all! It was beautiful on the table and a crowd pleaser!
Kim says
That’s fantastic! Thank you for letting me know!
Melanie says
Did you make your own frosting or buy the cream cheese frosting in the container in the video?
Kim says
I bought it. But you can make your own if you’d like.
Melissa Winters says
How far in advance can you make this?
Kim says
I would think you could make it the day before and add the fruit the day of. Adding fruit and letting it set could make it soft or soggy depending on the moisture of the fruit you’re using. I’ve always served it the day I’ve made it. I would cover it with plastic wrap.
Melissa Winters says
Great, thank you!
Gina says
Absolutely love this idea for Easter instead of some the horrible sugary candies that are just TOO much for me. Such a fun treat and great to get the kids involved in making it!
