Frequently Asked Questions
Does fruit pizza need to be refrigerated?
Yes, because of the cream cheese leftovers should be kept refrigerated covered or in an airtight container.
Can I make fruit pizza ahead of time?
You can bake the cookie crust ahead of time and make the cream cheese layer a day or two ahead of time. Keep the cream cheese layer in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Wait to assemble the fruit pizza and add the fruit until you are ready to serve it.
