# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Flatten the cookie dough on a floured counter till it's 1/4-inch thick. Cut egg shapes using an Easter-themed cutter or a paper guide. Put them on a baking sheet with parchment. Bake them for 10-12 mins until the sides turn slightly golden. Let them sit on the tray for a bit, then move to a cooling rack.
02 -
You can grab big cookies from your local bakery. If you're using pizza crust, bake it first, then cut out egg shapes with scissors or a cutter. Pound cake works too—just slice it thick and shape eggs with a knife or cutter.
03 -
Beat the soft cream cheese and butter in a bowl until they're fluffy. Mix in the sugar gradually, one cup at a time, making sure it's all blended before adding more. Stir in the vanilla. Add milk bit by bit until you get a smooth spread.
04 -
Smear a thick layer of your cream cheese mix on each cooled base. Layer your fruits—strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin bits, raspberries, grape halves, and whatever else you picked—to make fun Easter egg designs.
05 -
You can pop your fruit pizzas in the fridge for half an hour if you want the topping to firm up and the flavors to blend better.
