Growing up this was a family favorite dessert. My mom had found the recipe and we decided to make it since it seemed like it would be good and easy to make. Well, it was easy to make and it was very good, that is why it became a family favorite.
This summer while at my parents cottage my mom mentioned dessert pizza to my kids and they were instantly intrigued and wanted to know what it was. After hearing the description my kids were sold and wanted to have dessert pizza.
When my mom told me about my kids wanting dessert pizza, I realized I had completely forgotten about this delicious and easy dessert and knew we needed to make it again. It was a hit with my kids and tasted just as good as I remembered it.
The nice thing about this dessert pizza is that you can use any fresh fruit you like, growing up my family always used, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and green grapes (which later became red grapes since that is the kind my dad prefers). You can also use a favorite homemade cookie dough recipe instead of prepackaged, which I plan on doing when I find a good sugar cookie recipe.
