Ingredients
  

1 package (16 oz) sugar cookie dough

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

2 cups fresh mixed fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Crust: Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.

      Make the Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until just combined.

        Spread the Cheese Mixture: Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust.

          Add the Fruit: Arrange your mixed fruits on top of the cream cheese layer. You can create a beautiful pattern using the fruits for presentation.

            Sprinkle the Cheeses: In a small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over the fruit layer.

              Bake the Casserole: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                Final Touch: Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh touch. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.

                  Garnish: Optionally, garnish each slice with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm or at room temperature!
