Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
Prepare the Brown Sugar Cookie Crust:
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the softened butter and light brown sugar until creamy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a bowl, beat together the low-fat cream cheese, maple syrup or honey (or powdered sugar), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting. Drizzle with honey if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Customize the fruit pizza with seasonal fruits like kiwi, pineapple, or mango.
To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend for the crust.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The crust may soften slightly but will still be delicious.
