Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries, sliced
• 0.5 cups Blueberries
• 2 pieces Kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup Mandarin orange segments
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for glaze)
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Press the dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, shaping it into a smooth, flat circle.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookie crust cool completely.

Step 8

While the crust cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust.

Step 10

Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern. You can get creative with your design!

Step 11

If you’d like a glaze, mix honey and lemon juice in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the fruit for added shine and flavor.

Step 12

Slice the fruit pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
