Every summer someone always brings a fruit pizza to a party or picnic. I love fruit pizzas. They are usually made with a sweet sugar cookie crust covered in a cream cheese spread and topped with fruit and jam. Very good but very sugary and high in carbs. So no fruit pizza for me.

That’s why I came up with this keto fathead fruit pizza that is both low carb and gluten free. It uses a fathead pizza crust instead of the sugar cookie crust. It’s the perfect low carb substitute!

Check out this  low carb fruit guide from my friend Georgina at Step Away From The Carbs. This will come in handy for summer!

What Is Fathead Dough?

So what is a fathead crust? It is a recipe that has been going around in the low carb/keto sphere for quite some time. It was originally from the people who made the movie “Fathead” and here’s their recipe. Basically it is mozzarella, cream cheese, egg and almond flour and has been used in lots of recipes for pizza.

Today I used coconut flour and made it a bit sweet to go with this recipe. I haven’t made a savory fathead pizza …. yet. But I’m sure I will. FYI I really like my chicken vegetable cauliflower pizza though if you are looking for low carb pizzas. 

Keto Fathead Fruit Pizza Recipe

To make the crust it’s really easy but kind of strange. You add the cream cheese and mozzarella to a microwaveable bowl and cook for about 1 minute. Mix it real well until it forms a dough.

Then you place it on a silicone mat or parchment paper and cover it with a piece of parchment paper that you have sprayed cooking spray on. Using a rolling pin over top the parchment paper to roll out a pizza shell. I then used my fingers to clean up the edges a bit.

Bake for about 16 minutes or until it’s cooked. I didn’t want it too brown because it’s rather dry. 

When it’s done, I took it out of the oven and let it cool. I flipped it over because the bottom was smoother and easier to spread the cream cheese mixture on top. Lastly I decorated with thinly sliced strawberries and blue berries.

Low Carb Fruit Pizza Glaze

For the classic fruit pizza, you use simmer apricot jam to use as a glaze over there fruit. For this low carb fruit pizza, I used a sugar free apricot preserve that I watered down a bit. It spread nicely over the fruit and added a bit more sweetness.

Then I refrigerated until we were ready to eat. It was really tasty and delicious. To be honest it is not the same as the sugar cookie base but I find that to be too sweet anyway.

And for another delicious low carb strawberry dessert, try my friend Shelby’s easy strawberry tart with almond cream filling! It’s another great low carb dessert to take to a party.
