While the crust is cooling, make the cream cheese filling. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. The cream cheese mixture should be thick but spreadable, creating a rich, tangy base for your dessert pizza.
Spread the cream cheese filling: Once the crust has cooled slightly, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges. The cream cheese filling will add a rich, creamy texture that complements the crispy crust and the sweet cherry topping.
Top with cherry filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly across the pizza. You can use as much or as little of the cherry filling as you like, depending on your preference for fruit. The sweet cherries will provide a burst of color and flavor that balances the richness of the cream cheese filling perfectly.
Make the optional icing: If you want to add a sweet finishing touch, prepare the icing by mixing 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir until smooth and drizzle the icing over the top of the cherry filling. The icing adds an extra level of sweetness and a glossy finish to the pizza.
Serve and enjoy: Slice the dessert pizza into small wedges and serve immediately. This Cherry Dessert Pizza is best enjoyed fresh, with the creamy, sweet filling and fruity topping. It’s a fun and easy dessert that’s sure to please anyone with a sweet tooth!
