Cream Cheese Fruit Pizza Cake: Creamy

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for an easy release.
2. Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
3. Gradually stir in the flour, salt, and baking powder until a soft dough forms.
4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are pale golden and the center is set.
6. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
7. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until completely smooth.
8. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla extract on low speed, then increase to medium-high until the mixture reaches stiff peaks.
9. Use an offset spatula to spread the frosting in an even, thick layer across the cooled cookie base.
10. Arrange your sliced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi in concentric circles or rows for a professional look.
11. In a small saucepan, heat apricot preserves and water over medium heat until liquid and bubbling.
12. Gently brush the warm glaze over the fruit using a pastry brush to create a glossy, protective seal.
