Description
A reimagined, small-batch fruit pizza designed for two people, featuring crisp sugar cookie crusts, tangy cream cheese filling, and a festive red, white, and blue fruit topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190g) All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, softened
- ⅓ cup (65g) Granulated Sugar
- 1 large Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- 4 oz (113g) Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp (15g) Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 4–5 medium Strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp (30g) Fresh Blueberries
- 2 tbsp (30g) Whipped Cream, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
- Add baking powder and flour; fold with a spatula until just combined to form a soft dough ball.
- Divide dough in half. Place each half on a 6-inch parchment circle and roll/press to a consistent ¼-inch thickness.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- While crusts cool, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and lemon juice; beat until light and fluffy.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled crusts using an offset spatula.
- Decorate with sliced strawberries and blueberries in a patriotic pattern.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure crusts are completely cool before adding cream cheese to prevent melting. Dry berries thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Crusts can be baked up to 2 days in advance and stored at room temperature. Do not freeze assembled pizza.
