Fruit Pizza
My wife and I had a grilled pizza dinner party the other night, and we wanted something not too heavy for dessert. What dessert fits pizza better than more pizza???
Fruit pizza can be done several ways, but the way we make it is to start with 2 tubes of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough (yeah, I cheat a bit here!). I spray a deep dish pizza pan with Pam for Baking, then spread the cookie dough in an even layer in the pan and bake for about 15 minutes in a 350 degree F oven. Once the ‘crust’ is done, I let it cool
This is where my wife steps in… To make cream cheese icing! The recipe is simple: 8 ounces of Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 stick of butter (both at room temperature), and as much confectioner’s sugar as needed (to taste). Once mixed with a hand mixer, we spread the icing on the sugar cookie crust.
The last step is simple, and can be varied to individual tastes. I cut up 5 kiwi fruits and about a quart of strawberries. We spread the fruit over the crust and added blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. Just about any fruit will work well, especially if it’s in season.
We cut it like pizza and served… It’s simple and great tasting!
