Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups plus 2 tablespoons (6 ¾ oz/195 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (6 oz/170 g) plus ¼ cup (2 oz/57 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (8 oz/225 g) block cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 ⅓ cups (5 ⅓ oz/152 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (2 fl oz/60 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2½ cups (12 ½ oz/350 g) mixed fresh berries


Instructions

  1. To make the sugar cookie crust, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and ¾ cup of sugar together on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Reduce speed and mix in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  5. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the chilled dough into a 10-inch circle on a floured surface and transfer to the baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ¼ cup sugar and bake for 14-16 minutes until puffed and pale golden. Allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  9. To make the cream cheese topping, whisk the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
  10. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until thickened, then spread evenly over the cooled cookie crust, leaving a small border.
  11. Arrange the mixed berries on top of the cream cheese layer, alternating colors for a vibrant presentation.
  12. For best results, enjoy the fruit pizza the same day it is assembled. Keep refrigerated until serving, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
Feel free to use your favorite berry combination for the topping.
This dessert is best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
