Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a round pizza pan.
-
In a food processor, combine the flour, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Pulse briefly until mixed. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the mixture into the prepared pizza pan, ensuring an even layer across the bottom. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling while baking.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
-
Arrange the sliced fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese layer in an attractive pattern. Get creative with your design to make it visually appealing!
-
Brush the melted apricot preserves over the fruit topping to give the pizza a beautiful glossy finish and to help preserve the fruits' freshness.
-
Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the cream cheese layer to set.
-
Slice into wedges and serve this delightful Butter Crust Fruit Pizza to your guests or family.
