Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons more flour carefully.
  5. Press dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, smoothing to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until edges are lightly golden and center is set. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  8. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add lemon juice if using.
  9. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until light, fluffy, and spreadable.
  10. Spread creamy topping evenly over cooled sugar cookie crust.
  11. Arrange prepared fruit on top in desired pattern.
  12. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and cream set.

Notes

Ensure butter and cream cheese are fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Cool crust completely before adding cream topping to prevent melting or sliding. Whip cream to soft peaks to maintain fluffy texture. Refrigerate assembled pizza for at least 1 hour before serving. Optional garnishes include coarse sugar or toasted coconut flakes for added texture.
