On a baking sheet or pizza stone, roll or press the dough out evenly as shown, leaving space for it to spread as it cooks.
Bake in oven for 16-18 minutes. It’s done when it goes golden brown around the edges. Cool completely
MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Add the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl.
Beat together the cream cheese and butter until well combined.
Add the powdered sugar and salt and beat until all is incorporated.
Grate lemon zest into frosting.
Squeeze lemon juice in (about 1 Tbs)
Check for consistency – it should be thick, but easily spreadable.
FROST AND DECORATE
Dump the frosting out onto the cooled cookie base.
Spread the frosting as evenly as possible, going right to the edges.
Add fruit on top in a pattern (or not!) until your pizza is all filled in with fruit.
Notes
Let the cookie base cool COMPLETELY before attempting the next step. If the base is warm, the frosting will melt and be a mess!
Use parchment paper or cooking spray on your baking sheet if you are worried about your cookie sticking.
Choose any kind of berries that you like - make it pretty, however you prefer!
Add a little vanilla extract to the frosting place of the lemon if you wish.
Use a pizza cutter to make it easy to slice and serve.
MAKING AHEAD If you are making ahead - wait until the day of serving to add the berries. They "bleed" juice into the frosting if you make it too far ahead!Keep cookie base at room temperature, but refrigerate the frosting.SERVING SUGGESTION Sprinkle mint leaves over the top to add a touch of "hey this is fancy".
