Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour for the cookie crust
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into pieces
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for frosting
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups mixed fruit slices berries, stone fruits, apples, etc.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking pan
  • Spatula
  • Cooling rack
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this dough evenly into a greased baking pan, creating a rough circle. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool on a rack.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Spread this thick frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust using a spatula, creating a slightly uneven layer for a rustic look.
  3. Wash, peel (if necessary), and slice your chosen fruits into thin, attractive slices. Arrange the fruit slices over the frosting in a decorative, slightly messy pattern, covering the entire surface for a colorful finish.
  4. Once assembled, refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set slightly. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing treat.
