Ingredient Notes:
How to Make a Dessert Strawberry Pizza
✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and instructions!
Step 1 | Prepare Pizza Pan and Cookie Dough Crust
Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly spray the pan with cooking spray.
Place sliced cookies onto the pizza pan and press them into the bottom of the pan. You can also use a roll of cookie dough and either slice or roll it out onto the pan.
If you do not have a lipped pan I recommend not going all the way to the edge as the cookie dough will expand as it cooks.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
Step 2 | Prepare No-Bake Cheesecake Filling & Slice Berries
Step 3 | Layer Cream Cheese Filling, Strawberries, and Whipped Topping
Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Then spread the mixture on the completely cooled sugar cookie.
Slice strawberries with a pairing knife or remove stems and slice with a strawberry slicer?

Place sliced berries on top of the cream cheese mixture.
Top with thawed whipped topping (like Cool Whip) or fresh whipped cream.
Tips
- If you do not have a lipped pan I recommend not pressing the cookie dough all the way to the edge of the pizza pan as it will expand as it cooks and may spill over into the oven.
- After rinsing the strawberries be sure to pat them dry or let them dry on paper towels. Excess water will cause the berries to run and make the dessert soggy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use a gluten-free cookie base and whipped topping. As of now, Cool Whip does not contain ingredients that contain gluten, however, they do not certify it as gluten-free. Just make sure the whipped topping you choose does not contain gluten or make a homemade whipped topping.
While we love this recipe without a glaze if you want you sure can add a glaze to this pizza. You can purchase a canned strawberry glaze or one in a plastic container in your produce department. Either mix it with the strawberries or place it on top of the cream cheese mixture then top with berries.
You sure can. Homemade Whipped Cream is easy to make by whipping up heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. I would suggest serving it the same day if you are making it with fresh whipped cream.
Variations and Substitutions:
Storage:
To store this strawberry fruit pizza cover it in plastic wrap or foil and keep it in the refrigerator. For best freshness, it will last about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Since the strawberries produce water after a few days the crust can become a little soggy. It still tastes yummy, but best if eaten in 3 days.
Make-Ahead:
You can make this up a day ahead of time or make it the day of. I recommend if you are making it ahead, add the whipped topping just before serving. This will keep the topping from getting messed up by the plastic wrap and also from separating, especially if you choose to use homemade whipped cream.

Strawberry Pizza is a favorite in my home. I’ve been going to Plant City, Florida since I was a toddler. It’s the “Strawberry Capital of the World.” If you ever get the chance to visit, go! There’s a strawberry festival every year in early March.
