Strawberry Pizza has a tender sugar cookie crust, spread with a sweet cream cheese layer and topped with strawberry glaze and fresh strawberries. It is a delicious and fun way to enjoy fresh strawberries.

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!

How to Make Strawberry Pizza

Sugar Cookie Crust

I use my Kitchen Aid to mix up the crust, it will seem a bit cumbly so just use your hands and form it into a ball.  It will come together nicely.

  • 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 for about 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees F or until lightly golden brown. Cool.

How to Make Cream Cheese Filling

While it is baking and cooling mix up your cream cheese mixture

  • Cream together softened cream cheese and sugar, vanilla and lemon juice. 
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture on the cooled cookie crust.

How to Make Strawberry Glaze

  • Smash strawberries. I use a food process to smash the strawberries or you can do it by hand.  I like to use the food processor because the sauce doesn’t end up as chunky.   
  • Combine smashed 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.
  • Cut the strawberry pizza using a pizza cutter.

Fruit Pizza Options

Besides strawberries you could use any kind of berry such as raspberry or blueberry.

This is a fun patriotic version of the fruit pizza.

Another fun version of fruit pizza using fresh fruit can be found here.

    Great easy way to make your own strawberry glaze as opposed to buying a jar full of preservatives. I substituted my own go to shortbread sugar cookie recipe for the crust. And the Cream cheese filling was made with confectioners vs granulated sugar. All in all a good recipe in which I appreciated the homemade glaze inclusion.
