Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-inch round pizza pan with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Transfer dough to the prepared pan and press evenly into a 12-inch circle about ¼ inch thick.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but center is still soft.
  8. Remove from oven and transfer with parchment paper to a cooling rack. Cool completely (30-40 minutes).
  9. Beat cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla and salt. Beat until fluffy and spreadable. Add a teaspoon of milk if too thick.
  10. Spread an even layer of cream cheese frosting over the cooled cookie base, about ¼ inch thick.
  11. Arrange sliced fruit artfully on top of the frosting. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing to set frosting and meld flavors.

Notes

Do not overbake the cookie crust; it should be just golden on edges and soft in center. Use room temperature ingredients for frosting for best texture. Chill assembled pizza before slicing to prevent frosting from melting. You can swap fruits seasonally or use gluten-free flour for dietary needs.
