Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your pizza pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy and light, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, making sure it reaches the edges.
  6. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges and set in the center.
  7. Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. In a clean bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with ⅓ cup honey and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If using, add 2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt and mix until blended.
  9. Spread the honey cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  10. Arrange sliced fruit on top of the cream cheese layer in a colorful pattern.
  11. Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
  12. Chill the fruit pizza in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not skip softening the butter and cream cheese to avoid lumps. Press dough evenly to ensure uniform baking. Arrange fruit just before serving to prevent sogginess. Chill after assembly to firm up the cream cheese layer and meld flavors. Tent crust with foil if browning too fast.
