Fruit Pizza

After browsing around the web for a recipe for fruit pizza, I came across several different versions. I tried a couple and this is what I discovered: more crust, less glaze. Soooo, I've put together the final product on here to share. :D

Taste rating: *****
Difficulty: Easy

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

The crust: most people used any kind of sugar cookie dough, but this mixture is much simpler and still tastes OH so good!

1c cold butter
1/2c powdered sugar
2c flour

Mix it all together and pat into a pan or on a cookie sheet. Use as much or as little of the dough as you please. (I seriously debated not continuing with the rest of the recipe because the crust tasted so good I just wanted to eat it by itself...) Bake anywhere from 8-15 minutes depending on your oven and how big/thick you made the crust. (Just keep an eye on it.)

Cream cheese topping: Again, you don't have to use it all if you don't want a big pizza.

8oz cream cheese
1/3c sugar
1tsp vanilla

Beat these ingredients together. Once the crust cools off, spread on top.

Fruit layer: You can pretty much use whateeeeeever you like for the sliced fruit. My favorites were bananas and strawberries.

Sliced Fruit
Can of pineapple tidbits (save the juice. You'll need a half a cup of it later. Add water if you need more.)

Arrange these on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Glaze: What I originally used was waaaay too much glaze for my taste so I've halved the recipe for you guys. :)

1T cornstarch
1/4c sugar
1/2c pineapple juice
1/2tsp lemon juice

Mix all these ingredients together on the stove over medium heat until it's thickened. Pour on top of the fruit.
Let the fruit pizza cool in the fridge. :D

Remember, next time I'm using more of the dough and less of the glaze. It tasted amazing though! Especially the crust :D
