The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Position a rack in the middle of the oven for even baking.
- 2
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
About 2 min
- 3
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the crust tender.
- 4
Press the dough evenly onto the bottom of an ungreased 12-inch (30 cm) round pizza pan.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Use your fingers or the bottom of a flat glass to get an even layer.
- 5
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
About 18 min
- 6
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: The crust must be fully cooled before adding the frosting, otherwise the frosting will melt.
- 7
While the crust cools, prepare the frosting by beating the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a clean bowl until smooth and creamy.
About 3 min
- 8
To make the glaze, whisk together the cornstarch, optional sugar, pineapple juice, and water in a small saucepan.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisking before heating prevents lumps from forming.
- 9
Bring the glaze mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and turns translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
About 2 min
- 10
Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and set aside to cool slightly.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: The glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
- 11
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the completely cooled crust, leaving a small border.
About 2 min
- 12
Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, and mandarin oranges over the frosting in a decorative pattern.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Pat the fruit dry with a paper towel before arranging to prevent a soggy pizza.
- 13
Gently spoon or brush the slightly cooled glaze over the fruit.
About 2 min
- 14
Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set completely.
About 30 min
Cook’s note: Chilling also makes it easier to slice and serve.
