Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan or a 12-inch baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and softened butter until the mixture is smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Add each egg one by one, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry blend into the creamed mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into your prepared pan, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting
- While the crust is cooling, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting in an even layer across the cooled crust.
Topping
- Finally, arrange the sliced fruit creatively on top. For the best texture and freshness, serve it within a few hours.

Notes
To store leftovers, place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For optimal freshness, best enjoyed the same day it's made. You might consider freezing the crust before adding the frosting and fruit.
