I love simple no-bake desserts, especially the ones made with dates as it’s a fruit that brings an incredible taste, sweetness, and plenty of health benefits. I’ve made many date-based desserts, like my Date Bark, Healthy Date Bars, or Chocolate Dipped Stuffed Dates. This healthy fruit pizza is a simple dessert with a pizza shape that can be made from a baked oatmeal crust or a no-bake crust. Fruit pizza can be served cold or frozen. They are topped with yogurt spread and fruits.
Ingredients and Substitutions
In fact, it doesn’t require baking, and the crust is made with only three wholesome ingredients. All you need to make the no-bake crust are:
Medjool Dates – pitted and soft. If your dates are dry, soak them in a bowl with hot water for 10 minutes before using them in the recipe. Drain before use. Almonds – roasted or not, both options work but roasted almonds add a delicious flavor. Vanilla Extract
Yogurt Spread
For the pizza spread, no need to use cream cheese! Combine the ingredients below:
Yogurt of Choice – You can use dairy-free Greek yogurt like coconut yogurt or soy yogurt. Maple Syrup or sweetener of choice – avoid powdered sugar or refined sugar to keep the pizza healthy. You can also use vegan honey alternatives such as coconut nectar. Cinnamon

Best Fruits For The Fruit Pizza
The best fruits are seasonal fruits, this is a better choice for the environment but it also guarantees the freshness of fruits. You can use some of the below fruits. For large pieces of fruits like bananas, strawberries, or apples, it’s better to slice fruits before adding them to the pizza.
Banana – since bananas darken quickly when in contact with air, it’s better to stir the banana slices in lemon juice before adding them to the top of the pizza. Strawberries – cored and sliced, strawberries add color and taste to the pizza. Kiwi fruits – peeled, sliced. Kiwis are one of the rare green fruits to add a fresh taste to the dessert. Blueberries, raspberries, boysenberries, blackberries – add whole berries, no need to cut. Citrus fruits like mandarin, oranges, or tangelo. Grapes – if they are in season. Slice them in half. Pineapple or Mango – cut it into small chunks.
Serving Fruit Pizza
There are two ways to serve this pizza:
Frozen Fruit Pizza – keep the pizza in the freezer, and remove it from the freeze 10-12 minutes before serving for easier cutting. Cold Fruit Pizza – keep the pizza in the fridge, the dough will be softer and not as easy to serve but delicious as well.
I love to serve this pizza as a weekend dessert or for special occasions such as Memorial Day or Fourth of July.
Storage Instructions
You can store the healthy fruit pizza in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it for 10 minutes before serving it as a frozen dessert. If you store the fruit pizza in the fridge, it will keep a softer texture and can be kept for up to 3 days..
