How to Make Keto Fruit Pizza
This dessert is comprised of three parts: the sugar cookie-like crust that is mixed and baked. Once the crust is cooled it is topped with a homemade vanilla cream cheese frosting. Lastly, it is topped with your favorite section of fruit.
Make the Crust
This fruit pizza crust is made from the same sweet almond flour base I use for my Keto Lemon Bars. It is a simple mixture of butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and almond flour baked until lightly browned. Combine the ingredients and press out into a pizza pan or quarter baking sheet. I also like to line the pan with parchement paper to prevent sticking.
Next, lightly prick the crust with a fork and bake the crust at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. This will depend a bit on what kind of pan you use. If you are using a circular pizza pan, press the dough approximately 10 inches in diameter and bake between 8-10 minutes. If using a quarter sheet pan press the rough to the edges and bake 10-12 minutes. Watch the crust closely and remove it from the oven when it has set in the center and is only lightly browned. Do not overbake!
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
Combine the cream cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, sweetener and vanilla extract in a bowl and cream with an electric mixer until it is light and fluffy. Next, use that sweet vanilla cream cheese frosting to spread all over the cooled pizza crust.
Add Fruit
Next comes the controversial part, the fruit. If you are on keto you know it is all about your net carb consumption and fruit happens to have quite a few carbs in it. For this pizza, I stuck with low carb berries.
Keto Fruit Pizza FAQs
I used blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries to make this easy fruit pizza recipe. However, you may use any keto-friendly fruits you’d like such as raspberries or shredded coconut. Avoid higher-sugar fruits like cherries, kiwi, or mango if you’re keto, but you could use these if you’re just going for a lower-carb dessert.
I recommend serving this healthy fruit pizza within 24 hours of assembling it. However, it will last up to four days in the fridge. Note that the crust will soften over time as the frosting and fruit juices sink into it.
You can use a pizza pan or a quarter sheet pan.
Tips for Making Keto Fruit Pizza
- The frosting also makes a good fruit dip if you want to make extra for any additional fruit you may have.
- To keep the fruit to a minimum, I sliced the strawberries very thinly.
- By thinly slicing the strawberries and spacing the fruit out a bit, you’ll be able to keep the carbs low and still enjoy a summer favorite!
