Scale
- Ingredients for Sugar Cookie Crust:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Ingredients for Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- Fresh Fruits for Topping:
- Strawberries, sliced
- Blueberries
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced
- Mandarin oranges, segmented
- Pineapple, diced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large pizza pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the cookie dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan, forming a crust.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the crust cool completely on the pan.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Once the cookie crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
- Arrange the fresh fruits in a rainbow pattern over the frosting.
- Slice and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are properly softened for easy mixing.
- Do not overbake the cookie crust; it should be soft and chewy.
- Use any combination of fresh fruits you like for the topping.
