Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces full-fat brick cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 and 1/4 cups confectionersβ sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups assorted sliced fresh fruit (such as apples, nectarines, peaches, grapes, kiwi, plums, cantaloupe, mangoes, oranges, pineapple, and fresh berries)
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: to 350Β°F. Prepare your baking sheet by greasing a pizza pan without holes or air vents to keep the dough in place.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3-In another bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, then mix well.
4-Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix on low until combined. Cover the dough and chill for 20 minutes up to 1 day. If chilled longer, let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
5-Press the chilled dough onto the pan in a 9 10-inch circle, about 1/3-inch thick. Bake for 17 19 minutes until the edges are lightly browned, then let the crust cool completely.
6-In a bowl, beat 8 ounces softened full-fat brick cream cheese and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth. Add 1 and 1/4 cups confectionersβ sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, then beat until creamy.
7-Spread the mixture over the cooled crust and arrange 3 cups of sliced fresh fruit on top in your favorite design.
8-Cut into slices and serve. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
