Ingredients
Sugar Cookie Crust
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Topping
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit Toppings
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup kiwi peeled and sliced
- 1 cup grapes halved
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a sheet pan by greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared sheet pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Assembling the Pizza
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the crust is completely cool, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the cookie crust.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and grapes in a decorative pattern on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Cut the fruit pizza into slices and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled dessert.
Storage and Leftovers
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best freshness, consume promptly.
