How to Make Summer Dessert Pizza
- **Prepare the Crust:** In a large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and 1/4 cup ice water. Mix until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- **Press and Bake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly greased 12-14 inch pizza pan, press the chilled dough into an even circle. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- **Cool Completely:** Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding.
- **Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- **Assemble the Pizza:** Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled crust.
- **Arrange the Fruit:** Arrange your favorite summer fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, etc.) attractively over the cream cheese frosting.
- **Glaze (optional):** In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup apricot preserves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
- **Cool and Glaze:** Remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before brushing it gently over the arranged fruit.
- **Chill and Serve:** Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
