Packed with vibrant berries, creamy yogurt topping, and a silky chocolate drizzle, this vegan fruit cookie pizza is a fun and refreshing summer dessert everyone will love.
Summer, sunshine... and pizza. Okay, maybe not the kind of pizza you're thinking of. But a sweet pizza topped with a creamy layer and a colorful pile of fresh, juicy berries? Now we're talking. It's the perfect summer dessert—lighthearted, beautiful, and bursting with seasonal flavor. (Though I have a feeling some Italians might object to calling it a pizza!)
This berry pizza is one of those recipes you'll find yourself making again and again. It's wonderfully simple, comes together with minimal effort, and feels like a treat while still being on the lighter side.
And if you'd rather make individual fruit pizza cookies instead of one large dessert pizza, simply divide the cookie dough into smaller portions before baking. They're just as delicious and even more fun to serve!

The Ingredients
Let's start with the base. Instead of making a traditional yeast dough (because who wants to wait around for dough to rise when dessert is calling?), we're creating a giant cookie crust instead. Made with wholesome oat flour, creamy cashew butter, and coconut sugar, it's surprisingly simple yet incredibly delicious. The result is exactly what a good cookie should be: soft and chewy in the center with perfectly crisp edges.
Now, since tomato sauce doesn't exactly belong on a sweet cookie pizza, we're swapping it for a creamy vanilla yogurt topping. I used soy yogurt, but almond or coconut yogurt work beautifully as well. Mixed with a little cashew butter, vanilla, and maple syrup, it becomes a luscious, lightly sweet "sauce" that pairs perfectly with the cookie base.
Next comes the fun part: the fruit. This is where you can get creative and make the recipe your own. Fresh berries are always a favorite, but cherries, peaches, pomegranate seeds, banana slices, mango, kiwi, or any combination of your favorite fruits will work wonderfully. The more colorful, the better!
And of course, no pizza would be complete without a finishing touch. For this sweet version, that means a dark chocolate drizzle. Made with just three simple ingredients—cocoa powder, maple syrup, and your choice of oat or almond milk—it's silky, chocolatey, and ties everything together beautifully. (Bonus: it also happens to be amazing on pancakes.)
Once you've added your toppings and finished with that chocolate drizzle, all that's left to do is slice, serve, and enjoy.
Bon appétit!
Top Tip!
This healthier vegan dessert pizza is best enjoyed fresh, as the cookie base will gradually soften over time.
Want to make this dessert ahead of time? Simply prepare the cookie dough and the creamy yogurt-cashew topping in advance, then keep them refrigerated until you're ready to bake, assemble, and serve.

Made this pizza last night! I didn't have cashew butter, so subbed almond butter. I ended up adding 1.5T of soy milk and the cookie turned out perfect! We topped with lots of strawberries.
