Ingredients:
Sugar cookie crust
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 110 g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 and 3/4 cups premium flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Topping
- 220 g of cream cheese at room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 4-5 cups mixed fresh summer fruits and berries, such as whole raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, sliced strawberries, and thinly sliced stone fruits
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- Sugar cookie crust:
Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and egg and beat until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. Transfer the dough to a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet and press into an even layer, covering the entire bottom of the skillet. If the dough becomes too soft to work with, refrigerate the skillet for about 10 minutes to set, then continue working. Prick the dough with a fork, leaving 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the edges.
- Bake the cake until golden brown, 20-24 minutes. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack, then loosen the edges with a butter knife and invert the cake onto a plate or cutting board. Flip it right side up again. If making ahead, let the cake cool, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature.
- Topping:
Clean the mixer bowl and add the cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the honey and vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until fully incorporated. Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate the topping, covered, until ready to use (when using, stir again until smooth).
- Assembly:
Spread the crust with cream cheese frosting, leaving a few centimeters around the edges. Arrange fruit and berries on top. Just before serving, dust the fruit pizza with powdered sugar, if desired, and cut into slices.
