There’s something truly magical about mornings when the kitchen smells like fresh fruit and something sweet is baking in the oven. It reminds me of summers spent at my grandmother’s house, where breakfast was never rushed, and everything on the table was made with care. One of my favorite memories is of a breakfast pizza she would make – not your typical savory kind, but a light, colorful creation topped with fruit and a dreamy yogurt spread.

This Breakfast Fruit and Yogurt Pizza is a little ode to those mornings. It’s a recipe that feels like sunshine on a plate. Whether you’re making it for a lazy Sunday brunch, a festive holiday breakfast, or even a fun after-school snack, it’s the kind of dish that looks like you went all out – but in reality, it’s beautifully simple.

The crust is soft, slightly chewy, and sweet like a sugar cookie. Instead of a heavy sauce, we layer on a creamy, lightly sweetened yogurt mixture. Then comes the best part – an array of fresh fruits, scattered on top like confetti. Every bite is bright, juicy, and perfectly balanced between indulgent and wholesome.

And while it may look like a show-stopper, this fruit pizza is incredibly easy to make. It’s kid-approved, brunch-guest-pleasing, and a great way to sneak in extra fruit. Plus, you can easily make it ahead for those busy mornings when you want something special without the morning chaos.

HOW TO MAKE BREAKFAST FRUIT AND YOGURT PIZZA:

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Make the cookie crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Start by creaming the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat again until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

Press the dough evenly into a greased or parchment-lined pizza pan or round baking sheet – like you’re making a big cookie. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden and the center is set. Let it cool completely before adding the toppings.

Step 2: Make the creamy yogurt topping
While the crust is cooling, beat the cream cheese until smooth in a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Then gently fold in the vanilla Greek yogurt until everything is silky and spreadable. Chill if needed.

Step 3: Decorate with fruit
Once your crust is cool, spread the yogurt-cream cheese mixture evenly across the top. Then, let your creativity (or your kids!) take the reins. Arrange your fruit however you like – you can create fun patterns, rainbows, or just scatter it all for a rustic, beautiful look.

Step 4: Serve and enjoy
Slice it up like a pizza and serve! It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can also chill it for a little bit before serving if you like that cool contrast.

HELPFUL TIPS:

Make it ahead: You can bake the crust the night before and store it in an airtight container. Just add the topping and fruit the next morning.
Fruit prep: To keep bananas from browning, brush them lightly with lemon juice before placing them on the pizza.
Crust thickness: If you like a thicker crust, press the dough into a smaller circle. For something thinner and crispier, spread it out more.
Keep it cool: Store leftovers in the fridge to keep the yogurt topping and fruit fresh.
Flavor twist: Try different flavored yogurts – like honey, berry, or coconut – for a new spin each time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I use store-bought cookie dough?
Absolutely! If you’re in a pinch, store-bought sugar cookie dough works great. Just roll it out and bake according to the package directions.

What other fruits can I use?
Anything you love! Try mango, pineapple, cherries, blackberries, or even pomegranate seeds. Just aim for a mix of colors and textures for that wow factor.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use dairy-free yogurt and cream cheese substitutes. The texture will be slightly different, but still delicious.

How do I keep it from getting soggy?
Make sure the crust is completely cool before adding the topping. If you’re not serving it right away, wait to add juicy fruits until just before serving.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind the fruit might release a bit of juice, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you’re making it ahead, store the crust and topping separately and assemble right before serving.
