- Assemble the pizza – Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- Add the fruit – Arrange sliced fruits in a decorative pattern on top of the frosting.
- Glaze the fruit – Warm the apricot preserves or honey and lightly brush over the fruit for a glossy finish.
- Chill and serve – Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use store-bought sugar cookie dough for a quicker version.
- For extra freshness, brush apples, pears, or bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Try different crust bases like brownies, shortbread, or graham crackers.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
