Lovely Lemon Blueberry Dessert Pizza starts with a cake mix and is topped with a creamy lemon curd, blueberry mixture, as well as a nutty crumble & vanilla glaze.
This classic dessert pizza has a flavorful Spring twist with fresh blueberries and tangy lemon curd. It’s the perfect dessert after Sunday dinner! Made easily too as it uses a white cake mix.
Highlights of this Fruit Dessert Pizza
- The sour cream & egg mixture bake on top of the cake mix for a soft, buttery crust. I know cake mixes have changed sizes, we’ve successfully used a 15.25 oz cake mix and a 13.25 cake mix for this dessert pizza.
- You’re welcome to use homemade lemon curd or store bought! Lemon curd is found by the peanut butter and jam, it usually comes in small jars.
- I use fresh blueberries, but you can use frozen berries if preferred. Just rinse and and lightly blot them dry.
Lemon Blueberry Dessert Pizza Ingredients
Cake mix: You need one 13.25-oz box of white cake mix for the base of this pizza dough.
Butter: Use cold butter, cut into cubes, to create a rich crust.
Sugar: Sweeten the base of the dough with ¼ cup of sugar.
Sour cream: Using sour cream in the topping mixture creates a creamy, tangy flavor.
Egg: You’ll need 1 egg for the pizza topping mixture.
Lemon curd: Drizzling lemon curd over this dessert pizza is the perfect topping!
Blueberries: Drop about 1 ⅓ cup of blueberries over the pizza for amazing flavor and a pop of color.
Nuts: Use ½ cup of finely chopped nuts, whichever type of you love. You can’t go wrong with almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
Vanilla Glaze
Powder sugar: Create a simple glaze with ½ cup of powdered sugar.
Water: Add 2 tsp of hot water for a nice consistency.
Vanilla extract: Flavor the icing with some vanilla extract.
Tips for Making this Lemon Blueberry Dessert Pizza
You can see the full recipe instructions below, but here are a few tips for success:
- Be sure the butter is cold. It tends to combine with the cake mix a tad easier when making the crumble. I like to cut the butter into small cubes and use a fork or pastry cutter for easy mixing.
- Don’t skimp on the lemon! If you’d like to add more lemon flavor, you can use lemon Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream.
- Patience is important. Let the dessert pizza cool at least 10-15 minutes so that it slices and serves easier.
How long is this dessert pizza good for & how do you store it?
This dessert pizza stays fresh for about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container to maintain its delicious taste and texture.

- 13.25 oz white cake mix
- ½ cup butter cold, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- ½ cup lemon curd
- 1 ⅓ cup blueberries
- ½ cup finely chopped nuts

Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 350°F.

- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until topping is light golden brown and set in the center. Cool completely, for about 1 hour.
