Bright, shareable, and endlessly customizable, this dessert features a buttery cookie crust, cream cheese frosting, and fresh berries, making it perfect for brunches, potlucks, or celebrations.
Ingredients
For the cookie crust
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the toppings
- assorted fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until smooth, then add the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix well.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly onto a pizza stone or baking sheet to form a crust about 1/4–1/2 inch thick.
- Bake 10–12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges, then remove and let cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cookie crust, top generously with fresh berries, slice, and serve.
Notes
Don’t overbake the crust; remove when edges are just golden to keep it tender. Store assembled pizza in the fridge and consume within 48–72 hours for best fruit texture.
