With summer just around the corner and fresh fruits in season, now is a great time for light, refreshing desserts like this fruit pizza. Brimming with juicy goodness, this luscious treat is visually appealing and tastes very similar to the real deal without using unhealthy ingredients.
When it comes to choosing the kinds of fruit with which to top your pizza, be creative! Feel free to use a variety of fruits like pineapple, berries, kiwi, etc., or stick to fewer options. Also, have fun arranging the top! Kids love placing the pieces of fruit on the pizza, making this a great incentive to get little ones involved in the kitchen. Whether you have the time to creatively arrange the fruit artistically, or just randomly spread it on top, this colorful dessert is sure to be a hit!

I’ve been taking a fruit pizza to parties and have NONE left! It’s amazing and now I’m thinking about what else I can do with the same crust. Thank you!
