Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Just use your favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour . Make sure it's a 1:1 blend.

Q: Is fruit pizza healthy?

It’s a dessert, so it has sugar—but it also has fresh fruit , which is full of vitamins and fiber . It’s a better choice than many store-bought sweets.

Q: Can I make a big fruit pizza instead of mini ones?

Yes! Just spread the cookie dough in a round pizza pan and bake for 16–18 minutes. Let it cool completely before frosting and topping with fruit.

Q: Can I freeze fruit pizza?

You can freeze the cookie base (before frosting). But don’t freeze the frosting or fruit—they don’t hold up well when thawed.

Q: What fruits are best?

Fruits that don’t release too much juice are best. Try berries, kiwi, and grapes . Avoid very watery fruits like watermelon.
