Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 small banana, sliced (add just before serving)
  • Optional: a handful of raspberries or blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup sugar together with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; mix on low until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Press the dough evenly into the pan’s bottom, smoothing with hands or a spatula.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are golden and center looks set but not browned. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. In a chilled bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. Add ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until creamy.
  9. In a separate bowl, whip ½ cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into cream cheese mixture.
  10. Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled crust.
  11. Arrange sliced fruit on top as desired.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and topping set.

Notes

Soften cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping heavy cream for best texture. Press dough lightly but firmly; chill dough if sticky. Bake crust until edges are golden but center not browned. Assemble fruit just before serving to avoid sogginess and browning of fruits like banana.
