Equipment

1 pizza stone or baking sheet

Ingredients

Sugar Cookie Crust

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes and chilled
1 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

8 ounces marshmallow fluff
8 ounce cream cheese room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit:

8-10 strawberries hulled and sliced
4-5 kiwi fruit peeled and sliced
1 cup diced pineapple
1 cup blueberries
1 cup blackberries
1 cup grapes cut in half
Mandarin oranges optional
Mint optional

Glaze:

1/2 cup apricot jelly

Instructions

Make the crust:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla until well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt mixing until combined. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Roll the dough out into a circle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

For the cream cheese frosting:

Beat the fluff, cream cheese and vanilla until smooth with a hand mixture.
Spread the frosting over the cooled crust and chill until firm.
Once the frosting is chilled, arrange the fruit on top.
Heat the jelly in a small bowl until loose enough to brush onto the fruit.
Lightly brush the fruit with the jelly and chill until ready to serve.
