Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sugar Cookie Crust:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Fruit Topping:
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or apricot preserves, warmed
  • 4-5 cups assorted fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the cookie dough: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until a soft dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Par-bake the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press chilled dough evenly into a 12-inch pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a raised edge. Prick dough with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are light golden. Cool completely.
  3. Make the cream cheese layer: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy and lump-free.
  4. Assemble the pizza: Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Arrange washed and dried berries in a decorative pattern. Gently brush warmed jam over the berries to glaze. Garnish with mint if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

Chill dough to prevent spreading. Ensure crust is completely cool before adding cream cheese. Dry berries thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust. Best enjoyed day of assembly, but leftovers can be refrigerated for 1-2 days.
