Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the crust cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled crust. Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting.
- Serve immediately or chill for later.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the crust. Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit – peaches, raspberries, and blackberries also work well.
