The Hershey’s Fruit Pizza recipe is a beautiful and appropriate dessert for Valentine’s dinner. This is a recipe I have been making since I was 17 years old and is one that we never get tired of. It is a little time consuming but don’t let that scare you. I just didn’t want you to start it 1 hour before dinner. 🙂
Then press it into a pizza pan, mine is about 18″. The kids like to help with this part…
Bake at 300 degrees, 20 -25 min. until lightly browned.
Now you need your sauce, or vanilla filling. Did I mention this is really low calorie??? 🙂 Melt the vanilla chips with the whipping cream and beat in the cream cheese.
Spread onto the COOLED crust. I throw it into the fridge at this point while I do everything else. Yummmm, now I just have to keep the kids fingers out!
Cut up your favorite fruit (usually whats on sale!) Pineapple is a must, and so are strawberries! Try to use as many different colors as possible. I also usually use a can of mandarine oranges. Than start spreading the fresh fruit out on the cold crust. This is the kids job!
Isn’t it pretty?! Throw it back in the fridge or put it somewhere safe so no one can snatch any fruit off the top.
Now it is time to make the glaze. You might be tempted to skip this part because it is so pretty already, but this will keep the fruit on the pizza, and keep anything from getting brown, like if you used banana’s. I also double this part. Combine in a small sauce pan until thick and pour over pizza.
I try and pour quick and then use a small spatula to spread it out thinly and evenly…
Here it is, I keep mine in the fridge. You will NOT have any leftovers I promise! People will think you bought it from a store, it is so pretty!

Any suggestions for making this dairy free? I can use a different butter but not sure what to replace the vanilla filling thsnks
Oh gosh I am not sure on the vanilla filling, what is in that one? If you just use the powder does it still have dairy? I never read the ingredients before.
You could use 8 oz dairy free cream cheese, softened with 1/3 cup sugar and 1/2 vanilla extract.
Could a different fruit juice be substituted for the Pineapple, DH doesn’t like pineapple, but this looks too delicious.
You wont taste it at all. I think you could though
This is the exact same recipe I make but as a tart or in a pie pan. It’s sooo good as ironically was requested for a super bowl party. Will have to try it as a pizza. I like to put mandarin oranges, kiwi, berries and pineapple.
Love fruit pizza! Thanks for posting this great recipe. One of the
great deserts of all times.
