Fruit Loop Dessert Pizza Recipe
If you’re looking for a fun and easy dessert that kids will love, this Fruit Loop Dessert Pizza is a great choice. It’s colorful, sweet, and perfect for a party or special treat. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- Sugar Cookie Crust:
- 1 roll (16.5 oz) of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- Cream Cheese Icing:
- 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- Toppings:
- 2 cups of Fruit Loops cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Sugar Cookie Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape it into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter, to resemble a pizza crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Cream Cheese Icing:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until the icing is smooth and fluffy. Adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
- Assemble the Dessert Pizza:
- Once the sugar cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese icing evenly over the top using a spatula or butter knife.
- Sprinkle the Fruit Loops cereal generously over the icing, pressing them down gently to ensure they stick.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Cut the dessert pizza into slices, just like you would with a regular pizza.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. This dessert is best enjoyed on the day it’s made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Tips
- Decoration: For an extra touch, you can drizzle some melted white chocolate or add colorful sprinkles over the top.
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cereals or add fresh fruit for a healthier twist.
