Ingredients
For the Sugar Cookie Crust:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Toppings:
- Fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, and raspberries
Instructions
Prepare the Sugar Cookie Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Press the dough onto the prepared pan to form a round crust about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and fluffy.
Assemble the Fruit Pizza:
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust.
- Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern.
Serve:
- Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For the best texture, serve the fruit pizza immediately after assembling. If storing, keep the frosting and fruit separate from the crust and assemble just before serving.
- You can use any combination of fresh fruits based on your preference and seasonality.
