Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create this flavorful masterpiece:

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the crust bakes to perfection.
Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, and butter. Add the egg and mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a pizza pan, forming an even layer. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: While the crust is cooling, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. This will be the delicious base layer for your fruit.
Assemble the Fruit Pizza: Once the crust is fully cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top. Arrange your fresh fruit in a colorful pattern, or go wild with a more abstract design—whatever your heart desires!
Add the Finishing Touch: In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam over low heat until it melts and becomes liquid. Brush the jam over the fruit to give it a beautiful glaze and extra sweetness.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice your fruit pizza like you would a regular pizza, and serve immediately! It’s best enjoyed fresh, but if there are leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Description

A refreshing and colorful dessert made with a gluten-free sugar cookie crust, topped with cream cheese frosting and a variety of fresh fruits.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup kiwi, sliced
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a circle on the prepared baking sheet, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookie crust to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
Arrange the sliced fruits on top of the frosting in a decorative pattern.
If desired, drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.
Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
