Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Offset spatula
  • Sharp knife or pizza wheel

Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Crust:

  • 1/2 cup 113g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup 56g cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup 150g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups 180g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz 226g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup 120g powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional

Toppings (suggested mix):

  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 1 kiwi peeled and sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  • Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a parchment-lined surface. Transfer to pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Spread frosting evenly on cooled crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  • Arrange berries and kiwi in desired pattern.
  • Gently press fruit into frosting. Chill if not serving immediately.
  • Slice with sharp knife or pizza wheel and serve.

Notes

For best results, assemble within 4–6 hours of serving.
Dry berries thoroughly before use to prevent sogginess.
Optional: Add a thin layer of lemon curd beneath the frosting for added zing.
Can substitute mascarpone for cream cheese in frosting for a richer flavor.
Avoid overbaking the cookie base – it's done when just set.
