Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 2 large eggs for an egg-free version, use 2 flax eggs: 2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water, chilled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour swap for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if needed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
For the frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened use plant-based cream cheese to make it dairy-free

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a pizza pan or a 12-inch baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the creamed mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan to make a crust about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting and Topping
  1. While the crust cools, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and spreadable.
  2. Spread the cream-cheese frosting in an even layer over the cooled crust.
  3. Arrange sliced and whole fruit on top however you like. Serve within a few hours for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The crust will soften as it sits. Assemble the fruit the day you plan to serve. For a centerpiece, arrange fruit in concentric circles or a rainbow pattern.
