In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined. Beat in the egg until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix. Cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Press the chilled dough evenly into a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 8 minutes, then begin checking every 5 minutes until the edges are just starting to turn light golden brown. Remove from the oven before the center looks fully done. The cookie will continue to bake as it cools, resulting in a soft, chewy crust. Allow the cookie crust to cool completely before frosting and decorating with your favorite fresh fruit. 🍓🫐🥝 Cream Cheese Frosting for Fruit Pizza Ingredients 12 oz cream cheese, softened 1½ cups unsalted butter, softened 6 cups powdered sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 3 tablespoons heavy cream Instructions In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract. Pour in the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, beating until the frosting reaches your desired smooth, spreadable consistency. Spread the frosting evenly over the completely cooled cookie crust. Decorate with your favorite fresh fruit and refrigerate until ready to serve. Tip: For the best texture, chill the frosted fruit pizza for 30–60 minutes before slicing. This helps the frosting set and makes cleaner slices. 🍓🫐🥝 #4thOfJuly #FruitPizza #KidsCooking #LittleChef #PatrioticDessert #FourthOfJulyRecipe #SummerDessert #EasyDessert #DessertRecipe #FamilyRecipes #BakingWithKids #CookingWithKids #HolidayDessert #RedWhiteAndBlue #IndependenceDay #CookiePizza #FruitDessert #CreamCheeseFrosting #HomemadeDessert #BBQDessert #PotluckRecipes #EasyRecipes #Baking #FamilyFun #YoungChef #RecipeVideo #Foodie #HomeBaking #July4th #FestiveFood
