Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon milk (optional, for consistency)

For the Toppings:

1 cup sliced strawberries

1 cup sliced kiwi

1 cup blueberries

1 cup diced pineapple

1/2 cup mandarin orange segments

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round pizza pan or use parchment paper for easy removal.

    Make the Cookie Dough Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Next, add in the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, add a little more flour.

      Shape the Crust: Spread the cookie dough evenly across the prepared pan, creating a slight lip around the edges. You can use a spatula or your hands to smooth it out to your desired thickness.

        Bake the Crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

          Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add a tablespoon of milk.

            Frost the Pizza: Once the crust is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the surface using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

              Add the Fruits: Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, diced pineapple, and mandarin oranges decoratively on top of the frosted crust. Feel free to get creative with the arrangement!

                Chill or Serve: You can serve the fruit pizza immediately or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to set the frosting and chill the toppings slightly.

                  Garnish and Slice: Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing into wedges and serving.

                    Enjoy the refreshing, vibrant flavors of this Gorgeous Fruit Pizza that’s perfect for summer gatherings, birthday parties, or as a delightful treat to share with family and friends!
