Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (310 g)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened (170 g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (115 g)
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (180 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (150 g)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (150 g)
- 1 medium fresh kiwi, peeled and thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh raspberries (75 g)
- ½ cup fresh blackberries (75 g)
- Optional: fresh mint leaves
- Optional: light dusting of powdered sugar for presentation
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 or 10-inch round pizza pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan to form a smooth, round crust.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack, about 30-40 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until fluffy and spreadable.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled crust.
- Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, and blackberries artistically on top of the frosting.
- Optionally, sprinkle powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Cool crust completely before frosting to prevent melting. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum if needed. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives. Add fruit just before serving to prevent soggy crust.
