Fruit Pizza

I made this one for Jeff's birthday this year, and it was a HUGE hit. It was gone in about ten minutes. This thing was also perfect because it was quick and yummy. Highly recommend you give it a try.


Crust:
1 tube (16 1/2 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Spread:
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 t. pure vanilla extract

Topping:
Assorted fruit, such as sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi, canned mandarin oranges, blueberries, grapes, etc. Be creative here and top your pizza with anything you like!

Glaze: (optional)
1 T cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup orange juice

Allow cookie dough to soften a bit. Lightly spray a 14-inch pizza pan or round baking stone with Pam and press dough out to 2 inches from the edge of any pan you are using. (Dough expands while baking)

Allow cookie to cool completely before icing.

Using a mixer, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread icing evenly onto cooled cookie.

Wash, dry and slice fruit (as needed) for arranging on pizza. If you want a symmetrical design, start in the center and work outward. Otherwise, arrange fruit as desired.

Optional Glaze:
Mix together cornstarch, sugar, and orange juice to make the glaze. Pour desired amount of glaze onto pizza immediately before serving. **I did not use the glaze, but it it delicious!

Slice to serve!
