Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup (40 g) rainbow sprinkles
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • ½ cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup mandarin oranges, drained
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Beat in the large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Stir in ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles carefully to avoid color bleeding.
  6. Transfer dough to the prepared pan and press evenly into a flat crust about ½ inch thick. Use the back of a spoon or lightly wet fingers to smooth it out.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Keep an eye on it around 18 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  9. Beat together 8 oz softened cream cheese and ½ cup softened butter until smooth. Gradually add 1 ½ cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 1-2 tablespoons milk to reach desired consistency.
  10. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust.
  11. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges on top in any pattern. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  12. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the frosting and meld flavors.

Notes

Use sturdy rainbow sprinkles to prevent color bleeding. Ensure butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for smooth mixing. Cool cookie crust completely before frosting to avoid melting. Assemble fruit topping just before serving to keep cookie crisp. For gluten-free, substitute flour with 1:1 gluten-free baking blend; for dairy-free, use vegan butter, cream cheese substitutes, and plant-based milk.
