Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup (150 g) raspberries, gently rinsed
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apricot jam, warmed (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Make the Sugar Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Adjust with milk or flour if needed.
  3. Prepare the Pan and Roll Out Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pizza pan or line with parchment paper. Roll dough on floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and transfer to pan, pressing to fit and creating a slight edge.
  4. Bake the Crust: Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden. The center may look slightly underbaked. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping: Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream if desired and beat again.
  6. Assemble the Fruit Pizza: Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled crust. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top.
  7. Optional Glaze: Warm 1 tablespoon apricot jam and brush lightly over berries for shine.
  8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate assembled pizza for at least 30 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

Notes

Pat berries dry before arranging to avoid soggy crust. Chill the assembled pizza for clean slices and flavor melding. Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option. Dairy-free cream cheese and vegan butter can be used for a dairy-free version. Apricot jam glaze is optional but adds shine and helps preserve freshness.
