Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (312 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • ½ cup fresh blackberries
  • ½ cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • Optional: edible flowers or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sugar Cookie Dough (15 minutes): In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy—about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
  3. Shape and Bake the Cookie Base (20-25 minutes): Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of your pizza or tart pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges. The center will seem soft but will firm up as it cools.
  4. Cool Completely: Transfer the cookie base to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before adding the creamy topping.
  5. Prepare the Creamy Topping (10 minutes): In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding slowly to keep it light and airy.
  6. Assemble the Fruit Pizza: Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled sugar cookie base. Arrange the rainbow berries on top in rows or a pattern that pleases your eye.
  7. Chill Before Serving (at least 30 minutes): Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza to let the cream set and the flavors meld.

Notes

If cookie edges brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil halfway through baking. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese to keep topping light and airy. Pat berries dry before arranging to prevent soggy crust. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour; for dairy-free, use coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.
