Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 8 oz (227g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 peach or nectarine, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add sour cream to the wet mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet to form a 9×13-inch rectangle.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until edges are lightly golden and center is set. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack, about 30–40 minutes.
  8. While the cookie cools, beat the cream cheese and softened butter on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  9. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  10. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie base, about ¼ inch thick.
  11. Arrange the prepared fruit (strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, peach slices) artfully over the frosting.
  12. Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure butter is softened for proper creaming. Do not overmix dough to avoid toughness. Cool cookie completely before frosting to prevent melting. Use fresh, firm fruit to avoid sogginess. Chill assembled pizza before slicing for best results. Variations include gluten-free flour, dairy-free cream cheese and butter, seasonal fruit swaps, and chocolate drizzle.
