Ingredients
  

Sugar Cookie Crust

  • 1 1/5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 tsp. vanilla

Cream Cheese Topping

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream OR sliced banannas
  • 3 cups desired fruit

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat softened butter and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and continue mixing until combined.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, don't over mix dough. Place dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
  • Spread chilled dough evenly onto prepared pan and bake for 15-17 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Avoid over baking.

Frosting

  • In a medium mixing bowl beat softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread frosting over cooled sugar cookie crust and top with desired fruit. Cut into slices and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
  • NOTE *If using cream for the white stripe, reserve 1/2 cup of cream cheese spread. In a medium mixing bowl beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks, stir in reserved cream cheese spread until smooth and creamy. Place into a piping bag and pipe white stripe. Sliced bananas also work great but be sure to add them right before serving*
