Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Sugar Cookie Crust:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the Creamy Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream, if needed
  • For the Fruit Topping:
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments
  • 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
  • Optional: 1/4 cup apricot jam, warmed for glaze

Instructions

  1. Make and chill the dough. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Form the soft dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  2. Press and bake the crust. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the chilled dough evenly into a 12-14 inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating a smooth, uniform layer about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are light golden brown. Let the crust cool completely on the pan.
  3. Make the frosting. While the crust cools, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy and spreadable. Add a splash of milk if the frosting is too thick.
  4. Assemble the pizza. Once the crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top, leaving a small border. Artfully arrange the washed and dried fruit on top. For a glossy finish, gently brush the fruit with warmed apricot jam, if using.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential to prevent the crust from spreading too thin. Ensure the crust is completely cool before adding frosting to prevent melting. Pat fruit dry thoroughly to avoid a soggy crust. The baked crust can be frozen for up to 2 months; assemble the pizza the day you plan to serve it.
