A fun and festive treat that the whole family can enjoy. With fresh fruits and a tangy creamy green frosting on top of a sugar cookie, this Christmas Tree Fruit Pizza Recipe is both easy and delicious!
On a floured surface, roll out the cookie dough and cut it to look like a Christmas tree. You may need to re-roll and cut a few times to get it into the shape you want.
Transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and round the edges slightly so that they aren't pointed. This will prevent overcooked or burnt edges.
Bake for 15 minutes or until edges are a light golden brown and look set. Center will still look puffy and underdone. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lime jello until smooth.
Mix in the whipped topping until well combined.
Spoon onto the tree or scoop into a piping bag and cover your cookie tree with frosting, leaving a small rim around it for the edge.
Add fresh fruits to decorate your tree as desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
Dough Choice: While you can use homemade sugar cookie dough, using store-bought dough simplifies the process.Fruit Selection: Personalize your tree by using your favorite fruits. Mix and match for a fun and tasty result.Frosting: To make the frosting green and tangy, use lime Jello. If you prefer a different flavor, you can add green food coloring.Rolling the Dough: Rolling out the dough may be a bit challenging, but it gets easier with practice. Roll it out on a floured surface, allowing it to adjust to being worked with.Shaping the Tree: Start shaping the tree from the bottom and work your way to the center for a more symmetrical result.Leftover Dough: Use any leftover dough to make mini fruit pizzas or incorporate it into the tree. Ensure it doesn't get thinner than ¼ inch.Storing: Assemble the fruit pizza shortly before serving to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. Consume within 4-5 hours, and store leftovers wrapped and covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
