Helpful Prepping Ahead Tips
If you’re looking for ways to make life a little easier, prepping ahead is a great way to do it. so you don’t need to spend as much time doing it later. Here are some tips to help you get started.
- You can make the cookie crust and cream cheese frosting up to several days ahead and just keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to go! Just be sure and remove the cream cheese frosting from the fridge an hour or so before assembling everything so it can soften up enough to spread, if you do!
- It’s best to assemble your fruit pizza a couple of hours ahead of when you plan to serve it.
- When choosing fruits, make sure your fruit is fresh or if canned or frozen, drained very well, so it doesn’t dilute the cream cheese filling on top of the pizza.
We’ve given you 2 options on your sugar cookie crust! Both are vegan, yet one is gluten-free and flourless for those who want healthier or allergy-free options. Both very delicious!
We’ve also given you 3 options for your cream cheese frosting:
- The first option, being a 3 ingredient, healthier option that’s super easy and tasty!
- The 2nd option is a cream cheese frosting with more ingredients, like vegan butter and powdered sugar added in for a thicker frosting.
- 3rd option, buy it already made. Most tubs of store-bought frostings are vegan, just check online to make sure.
Regardless what crust or fruits you choose, you’ll definitely find this delectable fruit pizza a crowd-pleaser for sure! We made this in an 8×8 pan, but you can use any pizza pan or any baking sheet. Double recipe for larger crowd!
