Description
Strawberry Pizza is a vibrant and delicious dessert made with a chewy sugar cookie crust, a rich cream cheese layer, and fresh strawberries topped with a glossy strawberry glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (16 oz) tubes store-bought sugar cookie dough
- 2 lbs strawberries, sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (3 oz) packet strawberry jello mix
- 2 (8 oz) blocks softened cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice cookie dough into 1-inch rounds and press onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a crust. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool completely.
- In a saucepan, whisk together 3/4 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Gradually whisk in 1 cup cold water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 5 minutes). Add strawberry jello mix and whisk until smooth. Let cool.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust. Drizzle strawberry glaze over the cream cheese layer, reserving about 1/4 cup.
- Arrange sliced strawberries evenly on top. Brush reserved glaze over strawberries for shine.
- Chill the strawberry pizza in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use dairy-free cream cheese for a dairy-free version.
- Substitute with gluten-free sugar cookie dough if needed.
- Reduce sugar or use sugar alternatives for a healthier option.
- Try adding chocolate drizzle or using other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
