Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup (45g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed summer berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in egg yolk and vanilla extract until dough starts to come together; add a teaspoon of cold water if too dry.
  4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  6. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut rounds with a 3-inch cookie cutter.
  7. Place rounds on baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are light golden brown.
  8. Let cookie crusts cool completely on baking sheet.
  9. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Spread a generous layer of creamy topping onto each cooled cookie crust.
  11. Top with mixed fresh summer berries.
  12. Garnish each mini pizza with a mint leaf if desired and serve immediately or chill up to an hour before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a tender, crumbly cookie crust. Chill dough before rolling to prevent spreading. Use fresh berries for best texture and flavor. Assemble just before serving to avoid soggy crusts. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained well.
