Fruit Pizza Summer Appetizer with Rice Krispie Crust

Bring a burst of color and sweetness to your next summer gathering with this Fruit Pizza Summer Appetizer! Instead of a traditional cookie crust, this recipe uses a chewy, buttery Rice Krispies Treat base that’s topped with whipped cream cheese frosting and fresh, vibrant fruit. It’s a playful, eye-catching treat that’s perfect for parties, potlucks, or any warm-weather celebration.

You’ll love how simple and fun this recipe is to make. The crispy, marshmallowy crust pairs beautifully with the creamy topping and juicy fruit, creating a light yet satisfying bite. Plus, you can customize it with your favorite fruits or whatever’s in season.

Helpful Tips

1. Work fast with the crust: Once you mix in the Rice Krispies, shape the crust right away before it sets.
2. Soften the cream cheese: Let the cream cheese sit out before mixing so it spreads easily over the cooled crust.
3. Dry the fruit: Pat fruit dry with paper towels before adding it to keep the cream cheese layer from getting watery.

Instructions

 

• Prepare a pizza round by lining with parchment paper, silicon mat, or rubbing on butter. Set aside.
• Add butter to a large pot over medium heat. When melted, add marshmallows to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
• Remove the pot from the heat and add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently with a spatula until fully combined. Keep in mind that as it cools, the mixture will get harder to work with.
• Pour onto the prepared pizza round. Press and shape with your hands until smooth and even to 3/4 – 1 inch thick. Cool completely (about 1 hour).
• Add softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla to a mixing bowl and whip with electric beaters until mixed thoroughly.
• Spread cream cheese mixture onto the cooled cookie leaving a small edge uncovered.
• Add fruit in any design or pattern desired. Serve right away or cover and chill in the refrigerator

Notes

• This recipe was made with a 9 inch pizza round.
