FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 390°F/200°C degrees.
• In a bowl, using a hand mixer cream together the sugar and the butter until it's well combined and creamy (about 1 minute). Mix in the egg and the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour along with the baking powder and salt, and beat with the mixer on slow speed until just combined.
• Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper, grease your hands with cooking spray then spread the dough in the pan in an even layer. You will have to use your hands to press down the dough.
• Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes. The cookie base does not have to brown, it might look undercooked but that's totally fine as baking it for longer will dry it out. Remove from the oven, and cool completely on a cooling rack.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, whip the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the powdered sugar in batches to avoid getting a sugar storm.
• Once the cookie base has cooled completely, using a spatula spread the cream cheese frosting over the cookie dough base, and then decorate with fresh fruit creating a pattern. Drizzle/brush the fruit with honey if desired.

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• For the sugar cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest, vanilla and egg and beat until incorporated. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape the dough into a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet and press into an even layer to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. (If the dough becomes too soft to work with, pop the skillet in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Prick the dough all over with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Bake the crust until golden and the edges are set, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool in the skillet on a wire rack, then loosen the edges of the crust with a butter knife and invert onto a platter or cutting board to unmold. Invert again so the crust is right-side up. (To make ahead, let cool, then wrap well in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature.)
• For the topping: Clean out the mixer bowl and add the cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed until light and smooth, about 1 minute. Add the honey and vanilla and beat to combine. Add the confectioner's sugar and beat on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Refrigerate the topping, covered, until ready to use (stir again until smooth).
• To assemble the fruit pizza, spread the cream cheese topping on the crust in an even layer, leaving a border for the crust. Top with the fruit in a random pattern. Dust with more confectioner's sugar if using just before serving, then cut into slices.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 14-inch pizza pan or round baking stone, or line with parchment. Roll the chilled dough out onto it, leaving some space around the edge. Bake for 12 minutes. Allow it to cool.
• Using an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cooled cookie crust and chill again to firm up the frosting.
• Top with fruit! See post for designs.
