Ingredients
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 14-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
2. Slice the cookie dough into rounds and place them in the pizza pan, pressing them together to form a crust. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue beating until it forms stiff peaks.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
5. Arrange the sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the strawberry jam over low heat until it melts. Drizzle the melted jam over the strawberries.
7. Refrigerate the pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Variations
If you want to switch things up, here are some variations you can try:
- Use a different type of fruit. Instead of strawberries, try using raspberries, blueberries, or peaches.
- Add a layer of chocolate. Melt some chocolate chips and spread it over the cookie crust before adding the cream cheese mixture.
- Make it healthier. Use a whole wheat crust and a low-fat cream cheese filling to make this dessert a bit healthier.
