This was another treat we got at my mom's house. She has been making these as long as I can remember, and as far as I know, no one makes them as pretty and as delicious as she does. Her cookie base is more then just a sugar cookie, it is a chewy, but crispy, oatmeal cookie, that could easily stand alone on it's own. The "sauce" for the pizza is so sweet and creamy, a perfect blank palate for any fruit that is in season. I took this over the summer time, so obviously berries were an appropriate choice. Right now, peaches and pears would be wonderful, or even apples, cut up in chunks and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
You can arrange the fruit on the pizza and then serve, or you could leave it empty with just the sauce and allow people to pile on the fruit of their choice. Either way, this pizza will be an absolute hit!
Fruit Pizza
Recipe provided by my amazing mom!
Ingredients
COOKIE:
3/4 c soft margarine
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1 2/3 c flour
1 t soda
1 1/3 c quick oats
dash salt
SAUCE:
1 small pkg instant vanilla pudding
2 c milk
8 oz softened cream cheese
Stir in
1 c Cool Whip
1 c powdered sugar
Directions
COOKIE:
Beat margarine. Beat in sugars, egg & vanilla. Beat well. Sift flour, salt & soda and add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in oats. Chill 1-2 hours or overnight. Roll (pat) evenly onto hot pizza stone. Bake 350 for about 15 minutes. Loosen from pizza stone and cool.
"SAUCE:"
Mix and beat well:
Spread over cooled crust and top with a variety of colorful fruits! I macerate all the fruit I top the pizza with. I think pizza is best after sitting for awhile, allowing topping to integrate with cookie crust.

I have a similar recipe that I love. Mmm, fruit pizza is such a great dessert.
Oh yummy!! I love the idea of using an oatmeal cookie base and really loading on the fruit. It looks so good :D Doesn't everything taste better when your mom makes it? My mom could pour me a glass of water and it tastes better than when I do it myself ;D
This sounds like such a great fruit pizza recipe! I will be trying it out soon :)
That looks so colorful and pretty. It has to be delicious! I am going to print this out so I can make this sometime too!
I've seen these around and have always thought how fun and yummy it would be. I'm not crazy about sugar cookies so, I kinda just let it go. Now I don't have to thanks to your wonderful mom (THX, Teresa's MOM!!) and her oatmeal cookie base!

I was really curious about this dish and was wondering what you used as a creamy base...and man oh man was I delighted to see those ingredients! Cream cheese, vanilla pudding, etc....What a great recipe!!!!!!! :-)
Wow, that looks so colorful! Tell your Mom thanks for sharing the recipe! :D
I've had something like this before and LOVED it. Although it was a little too sweet and I think it was because it was a sugar cookie base vs. the oatmeal! I will have to try making your mamas version.
This looks delicious. Can we all come over to your mom's? ;)
YUMMY! I love fruit pizza but have never thought to use a oatmeal cookie. I have to try this!
Mom's have the best recipes! That fruit on top looks delicious.
Love your choice of fruit. YUM!
Oh! I have to have this! This is a perfect treat!
It's so pretty! I'd love a big slice :D
I love a good fruit pizza. I'd love to try your version. The crust sounds particular wonderful!
Ooh...that's just beautiful! Love the blackberries on there.
I will so have to try this.. the kids would devour it ..good way to get some fruit in them too:)
Looks so pretty.
So creative. It looks out of this world. Maybe I would drizzle both white chocolate and dark chocolate as a finishing touch. It looks so yummy!
