Ingredients
- BASE
- 225g unsalted butter, cold
- 56g cream cheese, cold
- 1 Ā½ cups white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Ā½ tsp salt
- TOPPING
- 170g cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 tbs unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 Ā½ cups icing sugar, plus more for serving
- 3 cups of fresh fruit (we used strawberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit, mango and banana)
Method
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and pre-heat oven to 180ĀŗC. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- To make the frosting, place the cream cheese, butter, and icing sugar into a food processor bowl and pulse until smooth. Transfer the frosting to a medium bowl, and place in the fridge.
- To make the base, place the butter, cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract into a food processor bowl and pulse until combined.
- Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and pulse a few more times to combine.
- Transfer the dough to the lined tray and use your fingers to press the dough into an even, round layer.
- Bake the base for 15-18 mins, until the edges are brown, and the centre is set but still slightly soft.
- Remove the base from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature (approx. 30 mins). Meanwhile, prepare the fruit toppings by slicing them.
- To serve, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled base, leaving a border a few centimetres wide. Top with the sliced fruit and sprinkle with icing sugar.
