Ingredients
What You'll Need
Thorough selection of the ingredients is necessary in the construction of a perfect taste, effect and mouthfeel chain. The homemade sugar cookies taste sweet and buttery and still manage to maintain their stability. The cream cheese frosting adds a coherent, albeit demanding, flavor on top of the cookies. Nature's colorful and delectable treats enter the stage and the itching feeling of wanting something sweet gets toned down naturally.
The following are the ingredients you will need:
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Unsalted butter
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Assorted fresh fruits (strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Cream the butter and sugar together until you get a soft, light colored mixture. Beat in the egg and the vanilla until well combined, then add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
- Step 2: Flatten the dough and use a plate to cut it into a circle. Roll the shapedsheet in the form of a circle then bake for 10 minutes or until the color changes to brown. Allow them to cool completely.
- Step 3: Blend cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla to create the cream cheese icing. The best part is that the steps are so simple that they are sometimes called as buttercream tips.
- Step 4: Place the frosting on top of the cooling cake and with a knife, spread it as evenly as possible.
- Step 5: Next, put the pizza slices of fruits in a decorative spray on the frosting.
- Step 6: Aim the fruit pizza for at least 1 man until you want to serve.
Hint: Make sure you cut the fruits as close to the garnishing, as much as possible, so, you will get the real fruit taste and not the browning or oxidation flavor that they take on if they cut them in advance and are left in the open for a while.
Expert Tips:
Professional Advice
- Achieve better sugar and butter incorporation by ensuring your butter is at room temperature. This is a key reason for conducting a test run.
- Cool the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This step is a staple for all of my cookie recipes.
- Frosting will make the cookie newly minted. With white chocolate brushed along the outline of the cookie, you won't get them soggy.
- Be careful not to smear the frosting over the cookie. A little space around the edges makes it look prettier and less likely to be touched.
- Shit the fruit with half water and apricot preserves. This is like serenity in heaven with everything being so shiny and crisp.
- Develop a more artistic appearance by placing the fruits in centered circular rings, commencing at the rim and continuing in a clockwise motion.
Substitutions
Alternative Options
Gluten-free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Dairy-free: Sub the usual butter for vegan butter and cream cheese (non-dairy) in the traditional way.
Low-sugar option: You are welcome to use sugar-free sweeteners in both the cookie base and the frosting. switch to natural sweet fruits such as berries or diced with a small sugar substitute.
Variations
Different Approaches
The chocolate is a chocolate lover's paradise! Pour the melted chocolate over the fruits to brighten them up a little more for the kids' delight.
Go tropical: Add some exotic desserts to the dinner menu. You can use mango, pineapple, passion fruit, etc.
Mini Fruit Pizzas: Make small single cookies, which you can also take with you during outing treatments for them to be lighter hits one can make for anyone.
Equipment
Necessary Tools
It is important that you get it right from the start by using a large baking sheet or pizza pan to form a perfect round base. Take care to seek steady and flat distribution for the best effects. Use a set of suitable paring knives for an elegant presentation edge. The paring knife that will assist you in cutting fruits into perfect pieces is bright and shiny.
Storage
Keep the pie in the fridge for at most 2 days, but it is better not to store for so long. For best results, you should add the fruits right before serving the pie so that they remain crisp.
Top Tip
One method that you should be generous with is the blind baking of the dough before finally baking it for a similar period without allowing the actual baking process with the weights on. That way you will have some good cookies with a firm base that lasts and is durable underneath the topping.
