Ingredients
  

1 ready-made sugar cookie dough (16 oz)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

1 cup strawberries, sliced

1 cup blueberries

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup mandarin oranges, drained

1 cup pineapple, chopped

¼ cup apricot jam (for glaze)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Cookie Crust:

      - Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.

        - Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

          - Shape the edges into a circular pizza shape and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool completely.

            Make the Cream Cheese Topping:

              - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

                - Beat until smooth and creamy.

                  - Gently fold in the whipped topping until well-combined.

                    Spread the Topping:

                      - Once the cookie crust is cooled, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

                        Arrange the Fruit:

                          - Decoratively arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, mandarin oranges, and chopped pineapple on top of the cream cheese layer. Feel free to create a colorful pattern!

                            Prepare the Glaze:

                              - In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the apricot jam until it's melted and smooth. If it's too thick, you can add a splash of water.

                                Glaze the Fruit:

                                  - Using a pastry brush or a spoon, gently brush the melted apricot jam over the arranged fruit to give it a beautiful shine and a splash of flavor.

                                    Garnish and Chill:

                                      - Finish by garnishing with fresh mint leaves.

                                        - Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Slice the fruit pizza into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy this refreshing and delightful dessert!
