Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for topping
- 2 cups Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, mandarin oranges)
- 0.25 cups Optional: Apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon Optional: Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
Press the cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan to form a large circle. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking. Let it cool completely before assembling.
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Wash, peel, and slice the fruits as needed. Arrange the fruits in a decorative pattern on the cream cheese layer.
For an optional glaze, warm the apricot preserves and water in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Brush the glaze over the fruits for a shiny finish.
Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
