Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

We picked our first strawberries from the garden this last week.  There is nothing like a strawberry fresh out of the garden and warmed by the sun!

I didn’t have to think long about what to make with the strawberries.  Traditionally, one of our family’s favorite “first strawberries of the season” recipes is Strawberry Pizza,  a sure sign that strawberry season is here. I have been making it for over twenty years without fail.

The pizza is made with a tender shortbread or sugar cookie type crust, a layer of cream cheese and then a strawberry glaze and sliced strawberries on top. This strawberry pizza sounds like our favorite Strawberry Cream Pie , just in a different form!

Ingredients Needed

How to Make Strawberry Pizza

  • Combine flour, powdered sugar and butter in a bowl and mix to form dough. You can use a mixer or mix by hand.
  • Roll the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Sometimes I make it round, sometimes I make it into a rectangular.  Depends on my mood.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F until lightly golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Allow to Cool.
  • Cream softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice until combined.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture on the cooled cookie crust.

  • Blend strawberries in a food processor until smooth.
  • Combine strawberries, sugar and cornstarch.
  • Cook the strawberry mixture until it thickens and becomes glossy.  It will look cloudy at first but will become more glossy as it thickens.  It will take about 5 minutes or so and then cool the mixture. Be sure and stir constantly so it doesn’t burn.
  • Spread the cooled mixture over the cream cheese mixture.

  • Slice the strawberries and place on top of pizza.
  • Serve

Tips

  • Besides strawberries you could also use any kind of berry such as raspberry or blueberry.
  • This is a 4th of July version of the fruit pizza.
  • A pizza cutter is the perfect tool for cutting your strawberry pizza!

    Never heard of this idea until saw that it was a favorite dessert of a TV home builders on the Central West side of Florida. Once I made this I was hooked. No wonder it’s a hit. It’s easy to make and DELICIOUS to eat, and I’m a HUGE chocolate lover, but this strawberry pizza has become a craving. And I’m making it for special friends and neighbors as thanks gifts for their kindness.

    Wonderful recipe, thank you! Could it also be made with frozen fruit?

      I don’t think it would work well with frozen fruit, too much moisture in the frozen fruit. Fresh is best!
