Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat until creamy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

      Shape the Crust: Press the dough into a round pizza pan (about 12 inches) or a large parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the crust to cool completely.

        Prepare the Frosting: While the crust is cooling, in a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

          Spread the Frosting: Once the crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the crust using a spatula.

            Add the Fruit: Arrange the sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, mandarin oranges, and banana artfully over the cream cheese frosting in a colorful pattern.

              Make the Glaze (Optional): In a small saucepan, combine the apricot jam and water. Heat over low heat until melted and well-mixed. Brush the glaze over the fruit to add a shiny finish.

                Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves scattered over the top for added color and flavor.

                  Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the colorful fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing into wedges to serve.
