--

Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - If you are using refrigerated sugar cookie dough, mix in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until well incorporated; this will help stabilize the dough.

        - Press the dough evenly into a round pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the edges are slightly thicker for a defined crust.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack.

            Make the cream cheese frosting:

              - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

                - In a separate bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream and whisk until soft peaks form.

                  - Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well blended and fluffy. Take care not to deflate the whipped cream.

                    Assemble the fruit pizza:

                      - Once your cookie crust has completely cooled, spread a generous and even layer of the cream cheese frosting over the top using a spatula.

                        - Artistically arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and diced pineapple on top of the frosting. You can either create a colorful rainbow pattern or simply scatter the fruit for a more casual, rustic appearance.

                          Prepare the glaze (optional):

                            - In a small saucepan, combine the apricot preserves and water. Heat gently over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture has melted and is smooth.

                              - Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Use a pastry brush to lightly apply the glaze over the arranged fruit, giving it a beautiful shine as well as enhancing the flavors.

                                Chill and serve:

                                  - Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the frosting to set and make it easier to slice.

                                    - Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an additional touch of color and freshness. Slice the fruit pizza into wedges and savor the delightful flavors!
