Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Crust
- 16 oz refrigerated cookie dough
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Toppings
- Fresh fruits such as strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, mandarin oranges (amount as desired for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or prepare a round pizza pan to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cookie Crust: Let the refrigerated cookie dough soften at room temperature for about 1 hour to make it easier to press. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan, forming a round crust. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Make Cream Cheese Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust, creating a smooth layer.
- Decorate with Fruit: Slice the fresh fruits and arrange them in decorative circles or patterns on top of the cream cheese layer. Use a variety of colors and textures for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- Allow the cookie crust to cool completely to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for best flavor and appearance.
- For a firmer crust, you can chill the cookie dough before baking.
- This dessert is best served chilled; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Customizable with any fruits you prefer or have available.
