Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9- or 10-inch round pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help it hold its shape.
  7. Transfer the dough onto the prepared pan and press evenly into a round shape about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Smooth the surface with hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until edges are golden and center is set but still soft.
  9. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  10. To make the frosting, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy. Add milk or cream as needed to reach spreadable consistency.
  12. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base.
  13. Arrange fresh fruit toppings over the frosting in a colorful pattern.
  14. Chill the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Chilling the dough before baking helps control spreading and results in a perfect texture. Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid soggy frosting. If frosting is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. For longer fruit freshness, brush fruit with a thin glaze of warmed apricot jam or honey diluted with water.
