Rhodes Rolls Fruit Pizza is so easy to make (thanks to the frozen dough) and looks beautiful covered with seasonal fruit!

Several years ago, I posted a recipe for Rhodes Rolls Monkey Bread. It has consistently been a popular recipe because of how much better yeast rolls taste versus biscuit dough. I pulled out the frozen rolls again for this Rhodes Rolls Fruit Pizza.

I don’t know why it never occurred to me to try more recipes with frozen dough, especially when there was a shortage of yeast! The dough creates a perfect pizza crust that isn’t overly sweet. This fruit pizza reminds me of a fruit and cheese plate that you’d get after a fancy dinner. 🙂 It’s naturally sweet, rather than sugary sweet.

I found this recipe in a cookbook sent to me by Rhodes after they shared my monkey bread on their Instagram account. I was looking for something that I could use as a springboard for creating a new July 4th recipe. I saw their fruit pizza, tweaked a few things and bam! Rhodes Rolls Fruit Pizza has been added to my July 4th recipes.

The cookbook suggests using a “strawberry cream cheese spread.” I made mine with a plain cream cheese because I wanted a white background for my berries. I just love the way red, white and blue look together!

I also prefer the creamy, mild flavor of plain cream cheese. The flavored spreads can get a bit too sweet for me. But you can use any kind of cream cheese spread and any fresh fruit that you like. I think kiwi slices and mandarin oranges would also be great.

If you’re looking for another way to make fruit the star of the show, serve up this Pina Colada Fruit Dip along with the fruit pizza!

How to make Rhodes Rolls Fruit Pizza

You can start with the rolls on the counter and roll them out together until you get a flat “pizza dough.” However, I found the thawed rolls to be quite sticky and uncooperative. It was far easier for me to simply press the dough flat directly on my greased pizza pan.

It takes some time, but just keep working it with your fingers. Eventually it will all be the same thickness and the rolls will be connected to each other. Remember, it doesn’t have to be pretty. You’re covering it up!

Next, brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar and poke holes all over the dough so you don’t get any air bubbles.

Bake until golden brown on the edges and the top is starting to brown. It puffs up a bit, but not too much. I thought it was the perfect thickness for pizza crust.

After cooling, you can cover all those seams up with the cream cheese spread. If you DO want it to be a little sweeter, you can always add some powdered sugar to the mixture before spreading it on the pizza crust.

The last step is to add whatever fresh fruit you want to cover your Rhodes Rolls Fruit Pizza. Slice it with a pizza cutter and serve!

The crust holds up beautifully to the weight of spread and fruits. It’s got a great texture that’s easy to chew and doesn’t taste savory or weird at all. This is such a simple recipe and sure to be a showstopper on the party table this summer!
