Ingredients  

Crust:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (somewhat softened)
  • ¼ cup butter (softened)
  • 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp milk (more or less for consistency)

Toppings: (This is the approximate quantity for a 12" pan. You can use any fruit combination you want.)

  • 6 large strawberries (washed & sliced)
  • 6 oz raspberries (washed)
  • 6 oz blueberries (washed)

Instructions: 

For the Crust:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Gradually stir in the dry ingredients.
  • Spread onto a pizza pan and place in the fridge until hard again.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven or until barely not glossy. Remove just barely before it turns golden. (I baked mine for 11 minutes - it was beginning to turn golden. Since it was covered with frosting, it was fine, but it was on the verge of being overbaked. However, it was not soggy.)
  • Place the pan on a cooling rack until cool.

Frosting:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until blended.
  • Add powdered sugar and enough milk to make it spreadable.
  • Combine then spread on the cooled crust.

Topping:

  • Wash the fruit and slice anything that needs to be.
  • Place in the fridge until time to serve.

Assembly:

  • Close to serving time, spread the frosting on the crust and top with fruit. *Don't assemble too far in advance otherwise the crust may become soggy.

Notes:

Make Ahead: It's best to wait to assemble this until close to serving time, but you can easily bake the crust early in the day and prepare the frosting and fruit.
