Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Cookie Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

  • ½ cup butter, room temperature

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the Strawberry Glaze:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, mashed

  • 4 Tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch

  • 1012 fresh strawberries, sliced


Instructions

🥨 Step 1: Make the Sugar Cookie Crust

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine flour, powdered sugar, and butter in a bowl. Mix into a dough and press into a 14″ circle on an ungreased pan. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool completely.

🧁 Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

Beat cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth and fluffy. Spread over cooled crust, reaching edges.

🍓 Step 3: Make the Strawberry Glaze

Cook mashed strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened and glossy. Cool to room temperature.

🍓 Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

Spread cooled glaze over cream cheese layer. Arrange sliced strawberries on top. Chill for 30–60 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

✅ Chill before slicing for cleaner cuts.
✅ Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best results.
✅ Crust & cream cheese layer can be made a day ahead; assemble on the day of serving.
✅ Store covered in fridge for up to 3 days.
