Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch

For the Toppings:

  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup 1/2 stick butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
  • peeled and sliced fresh kiwi
  • fresh blueberries
  • canned mandarin oranges
  • peeled and sliced ripe bananas tossed with a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning
  • halved fresh red grapes

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add sugar and beat again until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, then add egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
  • Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cornstarch in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Gradually beat the dry mixture into the stand mixer on low speed until combine.
  • Tightly wrap cookie dough with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 and spray a pizza pan with baking spray.
  • Take the plastic wrap off of the dough and place onto the prepared pizza pan.
  • Press dough into a flat disk about 3/4 - 1 inch in thickness and bake for 18 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the oven and let crust cool on the pan for 20 minutes.
  • Place the cooled pan into the fridge until cooled completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • To prepare the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and creamy.
  • Add sifted powdered sugar and 1 tbsp. heavy cream and beat for 2-3 minutes, until combined. Add vanilla extract and remaining 1/2 tbsp. heavy cream if frosting is too thick and beat until frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Use an offset spatula to spread cream cheese frosting into an even layer onto the cooled crust. Add fruit in circular layers around the pizza and serve.
  • ENJOY!
