Ingredients

Shortbread crust

  • 1 cup 2 sticks Vegan Butter,soft
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 TB vanilla extract

Frosting

  • ½ cup vegan cream cheese
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract

Fruit

  • 2-3 cups chopped fruit- whatever variety you want.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350, get a baking sheet lined with a Silpat, and set it aside.
  • Make your shortbread dough by getting your stand mixer, cream your vegan butter and sugars, mix in your vanilla and then mix in your flour until incorporated.
  • Take a Silpat and half of your dough. Take a large piece of saran wrap and cover the dough (for less sticking); roll your dough with the rolling pin rolling over the saran wrap (if that makes sense, you want a barrier for the sticking factor). Roll the dough to about ¼ to ½ inches thick. However thick you want them is how they will stay; they do not rise. You want it thick enough to handle the fruit topping. Use a biscuit cutter or a largemouth cup to cut circles in your dough. Transfer the dough circles to the prepared baking sheet via spatula. Repeat with the remaining dough. Bake for 8-10 minutes, watch them so they don't get too brown.   Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
  • Make your frosting. Mix all the ingredients with your stand mixer. Stick this in the fridge while waiting for the cookies to cool.
  • Cut up your fruit into the desired shapes you want to use for your fruit pizza. Make sure all the fruit is super dry. Set aside.
  • Frost the fruit pizzas and top with the fruit.  **Note if you aren't serving these right away, wait to put the fruit on them. After time the fruit will seep some liquid- they still taste amazing, if not even better- but they aren't so easy to handle, and the cookie can get very soft. This didn't phase us from gobbling them up. But if you're bringing to an event, I would put the fruit on when you get there. Store in the fridge.
