Ingredients
Crust
- 1 tube sugar cookie dough
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas)
- 2 tbsp fruit preserves (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Press the sugar cookie dough onto a pizza pan or rimmed baking sheet in an even layer.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden at the edges.
- Cool the cookie crust completely on a wire rack so the filling won't melt.
Filling and Topping
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust.
- Arrange the sliced fruit on top.
- Warm the fruit preserves slightly and drizzle over fruit if desired, then chill briefly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Tips for success: Let the crust cool completely before spreading the filling to prevent slipping. Pat fruit dry to avoid watering down the cream cheese layer. Slice bananas just before serving to reduce browning; brush fruit preserves lightly to seal. Store covered in the fridge up to 2–3 days for best texture.
