Description
A colorful and refreshing dessert featuring a soft sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy layer, fresh mixed fruits, and finished with a rich chocolate banana drizzle.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments
- 1/2 cup sliced grapes
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan or line with parchment paper.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan to form a crust.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
- Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- Arrange strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, and grapes decoratively over the cream layer.
- Mash the banana until smooth.
- Melt chocolate chips with milk in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in mashed banana.
- Drizzle the chocolate banana mixture over the fruit.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Pat fruit dry before arranging to prevent excess moisture.
- The crust can be baked one day ahead and stored covered at room temperature.
- Use seasonal fruits like raspberries, mango, pineapple, or peaches for variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing is recommended only for the baked crust, not the assembled pizza.
