What Is Keto Fruit Pizza?
Keto fruit pizza is a low-sugar take on traditional fruit pizza, made with an almond flour cookie crust instead of a classic sugar cookie base. It’s topped with a creamy spread and finished with fresh fruit for color, texture, and brightness.
This version focuses on balance rather than overly sweet flavors, letting the fruit and cream shine.
Why This Keto Fruit Pizza Works
Almond flour creates a tender cookie-style crust that holds together well once baked and cooled. The mascarpone-based topping adds richness without being heavy, while the fresh berries bring contrast and natural sweetness.
Together, the textures and flavors make this keto fruit pizza feel light, fresh, and approachable.

How to Make the Keto Fruit Pizza Crust
My versatile grain free keto shortbread cookie recipe has been the base for so many recipes (like these incredible Keto Lemon Bars). It’s just a few ingredients and is easy to assemble with the help of a food processor.
What if I don’t have a food processor?
This recipe is still doable, but may need one extra step. The food processor is the easiest way to cut the cold butter into the dough, and without one, it could be difficult to do by hand. One tip you often see me give here is to freeze your butter and use a cheese grater and grate it in instead. This allows the butter to be small enough to be mixed into the dough cohesively.
How to Make the Creamy Fruit Pizza Topping
The filling is simple to make and is made up of cream cheese, mascarpone (can sub cream cheese if desired), vanilla, and low-carb powdered sweetener. Powdered works best for the filling, so it isn’t gritty or grainy. Combine everything and whip it together until smooth and fluffy.
What can I use if I am dairy free?
Sub out the sour cream and mascarpone with some whipped coconut cream. Add the same ingredients and mix until combined. Add to the sugar cookie crust and spread it across the top.
How to Assemble Keto Fruit Pizza
- Cool the crust completely before filling to prevent the topping from melting or becoming loose
- Spread the topping from the center outward using an offset spatula for an even layer
- Pat fruit dry before arranging to avoid excess moisture that can soften the filling
- Place larger fruit first, then smaller berries for balanced coverage and cleaner slices
- Avoid overloading the surface so the topping sets properly
- Chill for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing to help the filling firm up and hold its shape
Storage and Make Ahead Tips
Keto fruit pizza is an excellent make-ahead dessert and actually benefits from a short rest in the refrigerator. The flavors settle and the filling firms up, making it easier to slice and serve.
Store the assembled fruit pizza covered in the refrigerator for up to seven days. The almond flour crust holds its structure well, and the creamy topping stays smooth without becoming watery.
For the best presentation, especially when using juicy fruit like strawberries or raspberries, add the fruit topping the day you plan to serve. If making further in advance, you can prepare the crust and filling ahead of time, store them separately, and assemble just before serving for the freshest look and texture.
