Ingredients
Scale
Sugar Cookie Crust
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
(Shortcut option: Use one roll of store-bought sugar cookie dough.)
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
Fruit Toppings
- 7–10 strawberries, sliced
- 5–6 kiwis, sliced
- 1 mango, sliced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 small bunch of grapes, halved
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, then mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
- Shape and bake: Press the dough evenly onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan or round baking dish. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely before frosting.
- Make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add powdered sugar gradually and mix until creamy.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled crust.
- Add fruit toppings: Arrange sliced strawberries, kiwis, mangoes, blueberries, and grapes in a decorative pattern. Get creative—spirals, concentric circles, or rainbow designs all look stunning!
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the pizza for at least 30 minutes to help the frosting set and the flavors meld together. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Active prep time: ~20 minutes; baking and cooling: ~20 minutes. For best results, use firm but ripe fruit and pat slices dry before layering to prevent the frosting from becoming watery.
