Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups (345g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained)
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Spread the dough evenly into your prepared pan, pressing it firmly to create a smooth, even layer.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway for even baking.
  8. Let the cookie crust cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  9. In a medium bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth.
  10. In another chilled bowl, whip ½ cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla to the cream cheese, mixing well.
  12. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.
  13. Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust.
  14. Arrange fresh fruit on top in any pattern you like.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the topping set before serving.

Notes

Use softened but not melted butter for best crust texture. Choose ripe but firm fruit to keep topping fresh longer. Chill cream before whipping for better volume. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts. For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with coconut-based alternatives.
