How to Make American Star Fruit Pizza with Homemade Cookie Crust

Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a 9 inch round cake pan with parchment paper, and set aside.

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, and flour until smooth.

Press the dough into the prepared cake pan, pressing it out to an even thickness.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden brown. Allow the cookie crust to cool for 5 minutes in the cake pan before removing the parchment paper and cooling it completely on a wire cooling rack.

Make the cream cheese frosting while the cookie crust is cooling by stirring the softened cream cheese, stevia, and vanilla together with a rubber spatula in a medium mixing bowl.

When the crust is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cookie crust.

To decorate the pizza, lightly lay a paper star cutout over the cookie crust and add the blueberries to the exposed corners. Remove the star cutout and fill in the star shape with the raspberries.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
