How to Make Fruit Pizza
Storing Fruit Pizza
Refrigerate your fruit pizza for at least an hour before cutting it into pizza slices with a pizza wheel. Fruit pizza is best served within the first day it is made. It will keep in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The crust can be made up to 4 days ahead of time, wrapped in plastic wrap, and refrigerated. The filling can also be made 4 days ahead of time stored in a separate container.
On the day of serving, bring the cream cheese mixture to room temperature before spreading.
Fruit is best prepared the day of serving although, depending on the fruit choices, it can be prepared 1 day ahead of time. Ensure the fruit is dabbed dry if making ahead and choose fruits that aren’t too juicy or won’t oxidize (turn brown).
