Description
A delightful dessert pizza topped with creamy frosting and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cooking spray
- 1 (16-ounce) package prepared sugar cookie dough (package should make 24 cookies), cold; or see note 1 for a homemade crust recipe
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (brick-style, full-fat, softened)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/16 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 4 cups fresh fruit (an assortment of strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, blackberries, blueberries, and mandarin oranges)
- 1/3 cup apricot preserves
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to package directions. Generously spray an 11-inch tart pan with cooking spray and place the tart pan on a large sheet pan. Set aside.
- Unwrap the cookie dough and press it all evenly and up the sides (3/4 the way up) on the tart pan.
- Bake in the oven for 18–22 minutes or until very lightly golden brown at the edges and center (be careful to not overbake). Remove and allow to cool completely.
- Soften the cream cheese by removing it from the package and placing it on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave in 15–20 second bursts until it is soft (don’t melt).
- Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment (or a hand mixer), cream together the room-temperature butter and softened cream cheese on medium-speed until smooth. Add vanilla extract and salt. With the mixer running at low speed, gradually add in 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Don’t whip it.
- Refrigerate frosting for 20–30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld.
- Spread frosting across pizza. Add as much as you’d like; leftovers are delicious on pancakes/waffles! Arrange fruit however you would like across the top.
- Combine the jam and water in a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture for 10–15 seconds and stir well.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture over the top of the fruit.
- Serve immediately or cool in the fridge (covered). Store in the fridge; best enjoyed the same day it is made.
