Ingredients
Crust

- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Berry Topping
- ½ cup strawberries, sliced
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup blackberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare the crust: Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough evenly into a 12-inch pizza pan to create a uniform base for your dessert.
- Bake the crust: Place the crust in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until it turns lightly golden, indicating it’s cooked through.
- Cool the crust: Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the topping to ensure the cheesecake mixture doesn’t melt.
- Make cheesecake topping: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, creating a luscious spread.
- Spread topping: Evenly spread the cheesecake mixture over the completely cooled cookie crust to form the dessert base.
- Add berries: Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries on top of the cheesecake layer in a decorative pattern for an appealing presentation.
- Chill the pizza: Place the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the toppings and make slicing easier.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your mixed berry cheesecake pizza chilled for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use any combination of fresh berries according to your preference or seasonal availability.
- Chill the pizza before serving to achieve clean, neat slices.
