Ingredients
Scale
Lemon Sugar Cookie Crust
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
Cream Cheese Fruit Dip
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
Fruit to go on top
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 3/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
In a large bowl sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tarter, and sea salt.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat until well combined.
-
Next add flour mixture about a cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Line a 14 inch pizza pan with parchment paper. Place dough on the parchment paper and spread it out to the edges.
-
Bake for 18 minutes. While it’s baking, with a hand mixer, beat the soften cream cheese in a medium sized bowl. Once it’s well beaten add yogurt and maple syrup and beat until smooth.
-
When the crust is done, take it out and let it cool completely.
-
Once cooled, add the fruit dip and spread it evening over the crust. Add your favorite fruit, in this case I used strawberries and blueberries.
Notes
- Try to get the dough spread out as evenly as possible, on your pizza pan, so that it cooks evenly.
