Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Cookie Crust:

  • 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or homemade sugar cookie dough)

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup apple jelly (or apricot, peach jelly, or marmalade for variation)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Sugar Cookie Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake dough on a 12-inch pizza pan according to package instructions (10-12 minutes). Allow to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over cooled cookie crust.
  3. Arrange the Fruit: Top the cream cheese layer with kiwi, strawberries, and blueberries in any pattern you desire.
  4. Brush with Jelly: Melt apple jelly and brush over the fruit for a shiny finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set. Slice into 12 wedges and serve.

Notes

  • Change the Glaze: Try apricot jelly, marmalade, or honey for a different glaze option.
  • Creative Designs: Arrange fruit in shapes like a birthday cake design or festive patterns for special occasions.
