Fruit Pizza

Instructions

Mix the Wet Ingredients – In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the softened butter and sugar. Mix on medium-low speed (setting 4) until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix on medium-high speed (setting 6) until combined, 20 to 30 seconds. Scrape down the paddle, side, and bottom of the bowl.
Add the Dry Ingredients – Sift the flour and baking powder into a medium bowl. Add the salt, whisk to combine, then add to the mixer. Pulse on and off 8 times. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix on low speed (setting 2) until the dough just comes together, 10 to 15 seconds. Do not overmix. Use a spatula to give a final mix.
Refrigerate the Dough – Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap, cover, and press into a ½" thick disc. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes.
Preheat the Oven – Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 350ºF (177ºC). Lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan with baking spray. Alternatively, line with parchment paper, cutting into a circular shape.
Shape the Crust – Allow the dough to sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes to make it easier to roll. Place the dough in the center of the pizza pan. Use a floured rolling pin or hands to form a 10-inch circle, about ⅓-inch thick.
Bake the Crust – Bake the sugar cookie crust until the surface is dry and the edges are lightly golden brown, about 16 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 to 60 minutes.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting - In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or hand mixer, beat softened butter and powdered sugar on low speed until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Gradually increase the speed to medium, beating the mixture until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add half of the softened cream cheese and beat on medium speed until incorporated, about 15 seconds. Add the remainder of the cream cheese and beat until smooth and fluffy, about 15 seconds. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.
Decorate the Fruit Pizza – Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled sugar cookie, leaving about ½-inch space from the edges. You may not use all of the frosting. Arrange the strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, orange, blueberries, and grapes on top.
To Serve – Slice and serve immediately. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not serving right away.
