Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (312 g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227 g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (60 g)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (120 ml, about 2–3 lemons)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces (85 g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup kiwis, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup mandarin orange segments (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9-inch round pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined, then add milk and mix until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press evenly to cover the surface.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and center is set but still soft. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. While baking, whisk lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened (8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in butter until smooth. Chill.
  9. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Add heavy cream or milk if needed to loosen.
  10. Spread cream cheese layer evenly over cooled cookie base. Dollop or drizzle lemon curd over cream cheese and swirl for marbled effect.
  11. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin segments on top. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Cut into wedges and serve.

Notes

Cool the cookie base completely before adding cream cheese layer to prevent melting. Chill lemon curd if too runny before spreading. Use fresh fruit for best results. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives. Avoid overbaking the cookie to keep it soft.
