Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. This is crucial for achieving that perfectly baked crust.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well until everything is combined, ensuring the baking powder and spices are evenly distributed.
  3. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, beat 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup brown sugar until creamy. The mixture should be light and fluffy, which usually takes about three to four minutes. You want to incorporate as much air as possible for a light crust.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This step is essential for a smooth batter.
  5. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; you want to combine it just until you don’t see any flour.
  6. Press the dough into a 12-inch pizza pan or a baking sheet, forming a 1/4-inch thick crust. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but aim for an even thickness for consistent baking.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. You'll know it's done when the edges are golden. Once baked, let it cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial; spreading the frosting on a hot crust will melt it.
  8. In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon orange juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth and creamy. The frosting should be light and airy.
  9. Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread the frosting evenly onto the top of the pizza base. A spatula works well for this, but you can also use the back of a spoon.
  10. Slice the fruit: for the strawberries, cup the tops off and slice lengthwise; for the kiwi, peel and slice into rounds, then cut each round in half; for the mango, slice close to the seed on each side, peel each half, then slice into thin strips.
  11. Arrange the sliced fruit on top of the frosting in any pattern you like. This is your chance to get creative! Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve. Enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh flavors!

Notes
