Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup (75g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (150g) mango, diced
  • 1 cup (150g) red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup (150g) pineapple chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour (1 tbsp) and mix gently.
  2. Shape and bake the crust: Line a baking sheet or 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Press the dough evenly into the pan, forming a round pizza base about 1/4 inch (6mm) thick. Chill the crust in the fridge for 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Prepare the creamy frosting: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy and spreadable. Keep chilled until ready to use.
  4. Prepare the fruit topping: Wash and dry all fruit. Slice strawberries and kiwi thinly. Halve grapes and dice mango and pineapple. Arrange fruit in rainbow order on the cooled crust: strawberries, mango, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, grapes.
  5. Assemble the pizza: Spread the creamy frosting evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border. Arrange the fruit on top in the rainbow pattern. Optionally, brush fruit with warmed apricot jam for shine.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Chill the fruit pizza in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill the dough before baking to prevent spreading. Cool the crust completely before frosting to avoid melting. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth frosting. Use fresh or properly thawed frozen fruit to avoid soggy crust. Work quickly when assembling to prevent moisture release. Optionally brush fruit with apricot jam for shine and freshness. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or oat flour. For dairy-free, use coconut-based cream cheese and cream alternatives.
