- The frosting can be tinted with a drop of food coloring for a themed look.
🧊 Storage Tips
Store leftover fruit pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust will soften slightly over time.
⏰ Make Ahead Tips
Bake the sugar cookie crust up to one day ahead and store at room temperature wrapped tightly. Frost and top with fruit just before serving for the freshest appearance.
