Ingredients
Base
- 1 whole wheat or gluten-free crust (baked or no-bake version)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (for brushing crust)
Yogurt Topping
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or cream cheese for a thicker base)
- 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for flavor)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (adds brightness)
Fruit Toppings
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh
- 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh
- 1 kiwi, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup mandarin oranges, segments
Garnishes
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (for texture)
- 2 tbsp almonds or granola (for crunch)
- Few leaves fresh mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to bake the crust.
- Bake Crust: Roll out the whole wheat or gluten-free crust and bake it for 8–10 minutes until it turns golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the yogurt mixture over the cooled crust, creating a smooth and consistent base for the toppings.
- Arrange Fruits: Decoratively layer the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, and mandarin orange segments over the yogurt base for a colorful presentation.
- Drizzle and Garnish: Lightly drizzle some additional honey over the fruit, then sprinkle chia seeds and almonds or granola for added texture and crunch. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a fragrant finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the base to set.
Notes
- If using a no-bake crust, skip the baking step and proceed with spreading the yogurt mixture directly.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with cream cheese for a richer and thicker base.
- Maple syrup is a great alternative to honey for a vegan option.
- For added crunch, use toasted almonds or your favorite granola mix.
- This fruit pizza is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
