  • 4 oz cream cheese Soften before mixing.
  • 3 tbsp honey Adjust sweetness to taste if needed.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds flavor to the frosting.
Fruit Topping
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced Pat dry if very juicy for cleaner topping.
  • 1 cup blueberries Use fresh for best texture.
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced Slice into thin, even pieces.
  • 1 mandarin orange, segmented Drain any excess juice.
  • 0.5 cup raspberries Use as accents on top.
Glaze
  • 2 tbsp apricot preserves Gives a light shine over fruit.
  • 1 tsp water Loosen preserves for easy brushing.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the cookie crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Press the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into a 12-inch pizza pan to form an even crust.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges and lightly set in the center.
  4. Cool completely so the topping won’t melt or slide.
Make the cottage cheese frosting
  1. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract, then blend until creamy and fluffy.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust using a smooth, flat layer.
Top with fresh fruit
  1. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, kiwi slices, mandarin orange segments, and raspberries decoratively on top of the frosting.
Glaze and chill
  1. Warm the apricot preserves with water until loosened and brushable.
  2. Brush lightly over the fruit to add shine without weighing it down.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the topping.
  4. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For clean slices, cool the baked crust completely before spreading the frosting, then chill until firm (at least 30 minutes). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the fruit glaze and texture change. If you want a lower-sugar version, replace honey with an equal amount of honey-style syrup or a sugar substitute designed for 1:1 sweetness, then blend and taste before chilling.
