A delicious meal is not complete without a dessert. My kids and I have a sweet tooth, and we are always craving dessert after our meal. I usually have a pound cake or some coconut cookies to satisfy those cravings but during the hot summer days, I don’t feel like eating these. I love experimenting with fresh fruits that we don’t get the chance to eat during the winter time! That’s one of the downsides of living up north: we don’t have fresh produce during those cold winter times! So as soon as the hot weather hits and my farmer’s market opens, I make sure to stock up on those fresh items! Food tastes so much better!
While my kids love ice cream (like this blueberry ice cream recipe) and popsicles, I wanted to try a different summer dessert idea. As usual, Pinterest was my inspiration, and I stumbled on those delicious and mouthwatering fruit pizza. I was drooling just looking at them. So I decided to give it a try! And let me tell you, I was missing out on something delicious. I wish I made this dessert before! The fresh fruits combined with dried ones adds such a delicious taste and crunch to the dessert! It is refreshing and satisfying without leaving you feeling stuffed. You don’t want to have a heavy dessert during those hot summer days! It also makes a perfect dessert for any upcoming party or a hostess gift! Now let’s see how you can make this easy dessert.

Supplies
Ingredients for the pizza crust
- 1.5 cups of crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 5 tbsp of melted butter
Ingredients for the buttercream
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsps milk
Ingredients for the topping
- Buttercream.
- I used blueberries, dried bananas, fresh strawberries and dried cranberries.
- Coconut flakes
to decorate
Material needed
- Glass pie dish.
- Large bowl
to mix the crust
- Spatula
Make it
Making your dough:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients until you get a sticky consistency.
- Put the dough in a glass pie pan and using your fingers, press until tightly packed evenly throughout.
- Bake at 350 for about 10-13 minutes. Let cool completely.
Buttercream
Using an electric mixer, combine all ingredients at medium speed and work your way up to high. If icing too stiff, add milk one tablespoon at a time. If too watery, add icing sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
Assembling the pizza:
- Once your graham cracker crust is cool, slather on your favorite recipe for buttercream icing (this will act as your pizza sauce).
- Use an offset spatula to spread a thin layer evenly throughout your “pizza crust”. Top with your favorite fresh and dried fruit. Don’t forget to top it off with some delicious “cheese” (coconut flakes).

The beautiful thing about this fruit pizza recipe: you can use any fruits you’d like! Just like a regular pizza, you can even go half and half with the fruits. Or, if you want to turn it into a fun party activity, make the crust, spread on the “sauce,” then set out all sorts of different fruits and let party guests add their own toppings.
