Ingredients

For the Sugar Cookie Crust

  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups (297g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp almond extract
  • Optional: zest of 1/2 lemon

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 16 oz cream cheese (2 packages), room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar

For the Topping

  • Kiwi, sliced
  • Mandarin oranges, drained
  • Strawberries, sliced
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries
  • Grapes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sugar Cookie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 1 minute until creamy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest if using. Beat again for 30 seconds to combine well.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients by mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula. The dough will become thick and stiff.
  4. Shape Dough: Using your hands, form the dough into a ball. Place the dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper and roll out into a rectangle or long oval about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, approximately 15 inches by 10-11 inches in size. Transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto a half sheet cookie pan (17x12 inches).
  5. Bake Cookie Crust: Place the cookie tray in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges start to turn light golden. If an air bubble forms in the center, gently tap the pan once against the counter to deflate it. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a rack.
  6. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: In a clean bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese on medium speed for about 1 minute until whipped and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Beat on low speed for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides to thoroughly combine everything into a smooth frosting.
  7. Assemble Fruit Pizza: Once the cookie crust is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface. Arrange the sliced kiwi, mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes over the frosting decoratively. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Do not use a silicone baking mat for rolling the dough; parchment paper works best.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and easy frosting.
  • The cookie crust should be fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting the cream cheese layer.
  • You can customize the fruit topping based on seasonality or personal preference.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator; consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
