Ingredients

Before we can dive into this recipe, we’re going to need a few carefully selected ingredients. Here’s what you’ll want to gather:

Frozen Puff Pastry: The base of your pizza, this ingredient brings a flaky, buttery texture that perfectly supports the toppings. I love using frozen puff pastry sheets. They make recipes like this one so easy!
Heavy Cream: Adds richness and creates a luscious whipped topping when beaten to firm peaks.
Coarse Sugar: It’s sprinkled on the edges for a slight crunch and a hint of sweetness.
Mascarpone Cheese: Offers a creamy, subtly sweet foundation for the whipped topping. I recommend mascarpone here, but you can substitute cream cheese.
Confectioners’ Sugar: Provides a smooth sweetness to the mascarpone cream, balancing the tartness of the berries.
Lemon Zest: Infuses a fresh, citrusy brightness into the cream, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla adds a warm, aromatic depth to the cream, elevating its flavor.
Mixed Fresh Berries: As the star of the show, they add a juicy, vibrant burst of flavor and color. I used blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries. Raspberries would be delicious too!
Strawberry or Mixed Berry Jelly: Helps bind the berries together and adds a glossy, sweet glaze to the topping.
Fresh Mint Leaves: A touch of fresh green is the perfect finishing garnish for this dessert recipe.

Now that you have all of your ingredients together, I think it’s time to assemble this amazing Mixed Berry Fruit Pizza.

How To Make

As I mentioned above, this Mixed Berry Fruit Pizza is surprisingly easy to make. I know you’ll think so too! I’ll walk you through it step-by-step below. I’ve also provided a full ingredient list and instructions in the printable recipe card below.

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Next, roll out the thawed pastry on the parchment to form a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Create a ½-inch border by scoring the edges with a sharp knife. Brush the border with 1 tablespoon of cream and sprinkle it with coarse sugar.

Use a fork to pierce the puff pastry inside the border to prevent excessive puffing. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Rotate halfway through for even browning. Allow to cool on the sheet placed over a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat 1½ cup of heavy cream, the mascarpone, confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until it forms firm peaks. Evenly spread this mixture over the cooled pastry.

Warm the jelly in a microwave for about 30 seconds to thin it slightly. Coat the berries evenly with the warmed jelly, then arrange them atop the cream-covered pastry.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

And that’s it! All that’s left to do is slice, serve, and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use store-bought whipped cream instead of making it from scratch?

Yes, you can use store-bought whipped cream for convenience. However, homemade whipped cream with mascarpone will provide a richer, creamier texture that complements the flaky pastry base.

What other fruits can I use for this pizza?

Feel free to experiment with different fruits based on seasonality and preference. Peaches, kiwi, pineapple, and mango all make excellent additions or substitutes.

How long can I store the fruit pizza?

This fruit pizza is best enjoyed the day it is made, but you can refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Note that the pastry may soften slightly but will still be tasty.

Can I prepare this pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the crust and cream ahead of time. Assemble with berries and garnish just before serving to maintain the best texture and freshness.

How do I prevent the puff pastry from puffing up too much?

Docking the pastry thoroughly with a fork and scoring a border around the edge will help. Also, watch it during baking and pierce any large puffs that form.
