Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 ounces (60g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup raspberries
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon apricot jam (warmed and brushed on fruit)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  2. Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. Press the dough evenly into a greased 9-inch tart or pizza pan, spreading it out to the edges to about 1/4 inch thickness. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or fingers.
  5. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set. Let the crust cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  6. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Optionally, beat in 2 ounces softened cream cheese before whipping for extra creaminess.
  7. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled cookie crust using a spatula to create gentle swirls.
  8. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and raspberries decoratively on top of the cream.
  9. Optionally, warm 1 tablespoon apricot jam and brush lightly over the fruit for shine.
  10. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream to achieve perfect soft peaks. Cool the crust completely before adding cream to prevent sogginess. Optionally brush crust with melted white chocolate or jam to create a moisture barrier. Prepare crust a day ahead for deeper flavor. Avoid overwhipping cream to prevent graininess.
