This Basketball Fruit Pizza is the perfect Basketball themed treat idea. It would be great for March Madness, a Basketball Birthday Party, or as a just because surprise for any Basketball fan in your life. It’s easy enough to make with kids and a huge hit all around!

It’s the time of year again. The one time out of the year that I actually watch basketball. Any other March Madness fans out there? Since I know that we’ll be watching a lot of basketball over the next couple of weeks I wanted to create a fun kid friendly treat that we could enjoy together for family night. This Basketball Fruit Pizza is extra delicious and sure to be loved by basketball fans of all ages!

Here’s what you’ll need to make a Basketball Fruit Pizza:

• Your favorite sugar cookie dough for the base of the pizza. You can use pre-made, a box mix (we love this one), homemade (this recipe is a great one), or the BEST homemade gluten free recipe that I’m sharing below. Seriously don’t knock it until you try it. It’s made with Almond Flour and SO delicious!
• Your favorite cream cheese frosting recipe (We have used this one before or you can use the recipe I’m sharing below that uses Coconut Sugar)
• Blueberries
• Mandarin Orange Slices (or fresh peach slices would also work great!)
• Parchment Paper (or a Silpat Mat)
• Baking Sheet

The best part about this Basketball Fruit Pizza is that you can customize it to fit your families dietary needs. I can’t wait to try it again with fresh peaches this summer!

The first step is to make your dough (I’m sharing the recipe we used towards the bottom of this post). After your dough is mixed, roll it in a ball and transfer it to your baking sheet that’s covered with parchment paper. Using your hands or a rolling pin, shape the dough to form a circle (about 1/2″ thick) and pop your pan in the oven. Bake your dough according to the recipe you’re using.

Once your dough is golden brown remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 20-30 minutes before frosting.

After it has completely cooled, use a knife to frost your cookie crust with the cream cheese frosting of your choice (I’m sharing our recipe below).

Now comes the fun part! Use the blueberries and oranges to create the basketball. This is the perfect treat to make with kids and it’s a great way to get your family in the kitchen together.

So fun, right?! Wouldn’t it be perfect for March Madness, a Basketball themed Birthday party, or a just because surprise for family night?

And because you know I can rarely create anything without designing a printable to pair with it, I’ve designed two basketball prints that you can use to decorate your table and make your family night or party a little more festive.
