I have some great memories of eating fruit pizza as a kid. Like, there's something about a giant cookie topped with icing and fruit. It's a classic dessert that just pulls you right into summer.
So, of course, here we are with a plant-based version.
Because we can still enjoy our favorite childhood desserts AND be healthy.
This cookie is a chip-less version of my chocolate chip cookie recipe. It makes a super soft cookie (though it's still strong enough to be held like a slice of pizza).
This is a plant-based version of the cream cheese frosting you would typically find on fruit pizza.
Step 1. Make the cookie. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a circular baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. In a large bowl mix the maple syrup, cashew butter, date sugar, 2 tablespoons of the oat milk, ground flaxseeds, and vanilla extract.
Step 3. Add in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until a dough forms, adding an additional tablespoon or two of milk if necessary.
Step 4. Place on the baking pan and flatten into a circle.
Step 5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookie is slightly golden. Let the cookie cool 1-2 minutes before transferring it from the pan to a wire rack. Let the cookie cool completely.
Step 6. Make the frosting. Beat the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl using a stand mixer, hand mixer, or (if you’re feeling strong) a fork. Place the frosting in the fridge until ready to assemble.
Step 7. Assemble. When the cookie is completely cool, spread the frosting in an even layer over the cookie, leaving 1/2" of space around the edges.
Step 8. Decorate with fruit as desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
