Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (16.5-ounce)
Creamy Topping
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar sifted
Fruit & Garnish
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup apricot jam melted and strained (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • pizza pan or baking sheet
  • wire rack
  • large bowl
  • electric mixer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly onto a lightly greased 12-14 inch pizza pan or baking sheet. If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands with a little flour.
  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  3. Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack before adding the topping.
Creamy Topping
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, beating until light, fluffy, and well combined.
  2. Once the crust is cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border if desired.
Assembly & Chill
  1. Artfully arrange the sliced strawberries and fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer.
  2. If using, gently brush the melted and strained apricot jam over the fruit to give it a beautiful shine.
  3. Refrigerate the dessert pizza for at least 30 minutes to allow the topping to set. Slice, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure hands are floured if the cookie dough is too sticky. For a vibrant glaze, don't skip the apricot jam. Chilling is essential for the topping to set properly and for optimal serving and slicing.
