Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 peach or nectarine, thinly sliced
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apricot jam, warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, creating a slight rim around the edges.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are light golden brown and center is set but still soft.
  8. Cool the cookie crust completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  10. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  11. Slowly pour in heavy cream and beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  12. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  13. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and peach slices on top.
  14. Optional: Warm apricot jam and gently spread over the fruit for a shiny glaze.
  15. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 1 hour before serving.
  16. Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

Cool the cookie crust completely before adding the cream cheese topping to prevent melting. Pat dry juicy fruits to keep the crust crisp. For a less sweet crust, reduce sugar by 2 tablespoons. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days. Can use store-bought sugar cookie dough as a shortcut.
