Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- Add the vanilla and egg and mix for another 30 seconds, or until well incorporated.1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined.2 ¾ cups (344g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt
- Press the dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan in an even layer (use parchment paper for easy removal). Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until lightly browned at the edges.
- Cool the crust completely before moving on, about 30-45 minutes.
Cream Cheese Frosting and Fruit Topping
- In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 2 minutes.8 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until fully combined.2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Spread the frosting in an even layer over the cooled crust. Decorate with fruit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.7 ½ ounces mandarin oranges, ½ cup fresh strawberries, ½ cup fresh blueberries, ½ cup fresh blackberries, ½ cup fresh raspberries, ¼ cup fresh kiwi
Notes
- Mandarin oranges: Drain the mandarin oranges thoroughly before adding them to the pizza. Pour them into a fine mesh strainer and let them sit for a few minutes, or pat them dry with paper towels. Excess liquid will release into the frosting as the pizza sits. Fresh mandarin segments work as a substitute. Peel, separate, and pat dry before using.
- Powdered sugar: For a tangier, less sweet frosting, reduce the powdered sugar by ½ cup. The frosting will also be slightly less stiff.
- Make ahead: The crust can be baked a day in advance, cooled completely, and wrapped tightly at room temperature. The frosting can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the fruit the same day you plan to serve.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The crust will soften slightly as it sits.
