- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg large size
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Cream Cheese Frosting

- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Fruit Topping
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries washed and dried well
- 1/2 cup blueberries washed and dried well
- 1/2 cup blackberries washed and dried well
- 1/2 cup raspberries washed and dried well
- 1/4 cup chopped kiwi approximately 1-2 kiwis
- 8 ounces mandarin oranges drained and patted dry with a paper towel
Instructions
Sugar Cookie Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- While the oven is preheating, grab a large mixing bowl, and a hand mixer, and beat the butter and sugar together for approximately 2 minutes or until it is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and large egg to this mixture and continue to beat this together for another 30 seconds.
- Next, add the salt, baking powder, and flour, and mix until it’s combined into a dough.
- Press the dough onto a 12" round pizza pan until it’s a nice even layer. Bake the sugar cookie dough in the oven for about 14-16 minutes or until the color of the crust is a light brown. Allow for the crust to cool completely before moving on.
Cream Cheese Frosting and Fruit Topping
- While the crust is cooling, grab another large bowl and a hand mixer and combine the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to this mixture and continue to beat it together until fully combined.
- Once the crust has cooled completely, take a small offset spatula and spread the cream cheese frosting on the sugar cookie crust before decorating. Top with the fruit, then refrigerate until it’s ready to be sliced and served.

Storage – Once assembled this fruit pizza is really only good for a few days after making. It can be stored in the fridge covered for up to three days. After the first day the crust will absorb a lot of moisture from the fruit and frosting and will become soggy. This dessert does not freeze well unfortunately.
