Make the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
- Combine all ingredients and mix at medium speed in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- Dump on cooled cookie and spready evenly using an angled spatula.
Add the fruit
- After spreading the frosting, add your fruit in any design you like. you can cut your fruit or leave it whole. I recommend leaving most berries whole but slicing your strawberries in half and placing them sliced-side down to keep the fruit as fresh as possible.
- Once finished, refrigerate until serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
