Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

I have a hard time getting excited about fruit pizzas with cream cheese.  I like cream cheese, but maybe I don't love cream cheese?  Sometime I really enjoy cream cheese frosting, but other times maybe not?  I'm not sure I can actually pinpoint where I stand on the cream cheese issue.  Let's call it on a case by case basis, shall we?  So, when I stumbled across a picture of a fruit pizza with chocolate sauce, well, of course that was happening.  I've been meaning to put this together for a while, but I figured that the 4th of July would be a perfect time for it.  A super simple sugar cookie crust is topped with an irresistible chocolate sauce and strawberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips.  You can substitute other berries if desired, or marshmallows instead of the white chocolate chips.


Sugar Cookie Fruit Pizza

Cookie Crust:
1 box vanilla cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil

Chocolate Sauce:
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
2 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons milk
1 cup powdered sugar

Topping:
1/2 - 1 cup blueberries
1/2 - 1 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Set out a 12 or 14 inch pizza pan.  If your pan has holes in the bottom, line it with parchment paper.

For the cookie crust, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl.  Stir until well combined.  Place the cookie dough on the pizza pan and pat it to the edge of the pan.  Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown.  Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan.

For the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate chips, butter, and milk in a microwaveable bowl.  Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.  Stir in the powdered sugar.  Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Spread the chocolate sauce over the cookie crust, leaving about 1/2 inch of bare cookie along the outside edge.  Immediately sprinkle the blueberries, strawberries, and white chocolate chips on top of the chocolate sauce.  Let the pizza cool and set before slicing.  Makes 16 servings.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
