A quick and easy summer dessert featuring a buttery sugar cookie crust topped with a light, creamy cream cheese and whipped topping, finished with fresh seasonal fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 8 oz (227g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, washed
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Transfer the dough into your prepared pan and press it evenly to the edges using your fingers or a spatula.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until edges are golden and center looks set. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. While the crust cools, beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  8. Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled cookie crust using a spatula.
  9. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  10. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil. Ensure butter is softened but not melted. Avoid overmixing dough to keep crust tender. Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese to maintain fluffiness. Cool crust completely before adding topping to prevent sogginess. Refrigerate assembled pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving.
