Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie crust:

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

      - If using refrigerated sugar cookie dough, mix it with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for added stability. Press the dough evenly into a round pizza pan or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to form your crust.

        - Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

          Make the cream cheese frosting:

            - In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.

                Assemble the fruit pizza:

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

                    - Decorate the top with an artistic arrangement of the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and diced pineapple. You can create a rainbow pattern or just scatter them for a more rustic look.

                      Prepare the glaze (optional):

                        - In a small saucepan, heat apricot preserves and water over low heat until melted. Once the mixture is smooth, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

                          - Brush the glaze over the fruit topping to give it a beautiful shine and added flavor.

                            Chill and serve:

                              - Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting and flavors. This also makes it easier to slice.

                                - Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness before serving. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
