Sheet Pan Fruit Pizza*

By srumbel

If I could do anything in my power to convince you to make this amazing Fruit Pizza, I would do it my friends. Not only is it stunning to look at…not only will it produce many servings to feed a crowd of your hungry friends, family and neighbors, but it tastes so fantastically wonderful you will think you have died and gone to heaven, truly. The sugar cookie crust is slightly crispy along the bottom while remaining soft and chewy in the middle. The frosting is both silky and creamy and the delightful fruit gives it a splendid burst of fresh flavor.

Ingredients

• SUGAR COOKIE CRUST:
• 1 C butter, softened
• 1 3/4 C sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 3/4 C flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• FROSTING:
• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 8 Tb butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 C powdered sugar
• milk as needed
• FRUIT:
• strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Into your stand mixer place the butter and sugar. Cream together for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
4. In a separate bowl toss together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Mix until combined.
5. Spray a large sheet pan (mine is 11x16) with cooking spray and carefully press the dough into the pan. The dough is kind of sticky, so be aware. I ended up spraying my hands with cooking spray and using them to press the dough into the pan.
6. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure not to over bake.
7. Allow the pan to cool completely.
8. To make the frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the other ingredients and mix until silky. Add a bit of milk if it's too thick.
9. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled sugar cookie crust and layer with beautiful fruit slices.

Yield: 24-36 bars, depending on how large or small you slice them
