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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.

Step 9

Wash, peel, and slice the fruits as needed. Arrange the fruits in a decorative pattern on the cream cheese layer.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
