Pro Tips Before You Start
Wet your hands before shaping the dough – It helps prevent sticking.

Don’t overbake – The crust should be golden, not browned.
Blend the filling until smooth – It should be thick, not runny.
Chill before slicing – Helps everything set up neatly.
How to Make Berry Fruit Pizza
Step 1: Prep the Pan & Oven
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Grease a 10-inch cast iron or round pan and set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In one bowl, combine the wet ingredients: egg, vanilla, honey, and softened coconut oil.
In a second bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet.
Mix with a spoon, then knead by hand into a dough ball.
Step 3: Shape and Pre-Bake
Place the dough ball into the prepared pan and press it evenly into the bottom.
Use a greased spatula to gently pull the edges of the dough away from the sides of the pan.
Bake for 14–17 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 4: Make the Filling
While the crust bakes, blend cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Cool and Top
Once the crust is baked, allow it to cool completely before removing from the pan.
Spread the lemon filling evenly over the crust.
Step 6: Decorate and Chill
Top with a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries.
Garnish with more lemon zest if desired. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before slicing.
