FAQs

How can you protect fruit pizza from becoming soggy?
When served soon after assembly, fruit pizza will not become soggy. To avoid a soggy pizza, create the cookie, icing, and glaze separately and cut the fruit. Just before serving, put everything together.
Is it possible to use pizza dough as a pie crust?

How to make fruit pizza glaze?
Add cornstarch, fruit juice, sugar, and lemon juice to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer, frequently stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the glaze is thick (it should adhere to the back of a spoon).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to cool while you assemble the fruit pizza.
Pour the fruit juice glaze over the fruit pizza, covering it completely.
