Today, we want to share a deliciously sweet dessert recipe with you.
Rich in antioxidants, this fruit laden, twist on pizza recipe, is a real winner that never fails to garner oohs and ahs followed by “who made this?” from those lucky enough to get a slice before it disappears. It is always the talk when my wife makes one for some friendly get-together. They are delicious and fun to make and decorate. If you have never had one, you are in for a treat!
Fruit Pizza
Ingredients:
1-20 oz. package refrigerator sliceable sugar cookies
1-8 oz. package of Philadelphia cream cheese-softened –You can use reduced fat but…
1/3 cup sugar
½-teaspoon vanilla
Assorted fruit – My wife uses sliced strawberries, bananas, kiwi, grapes and blueberries.
There is also listed some more fruit ideas at the bottom of the page.
½ cup of either orange marmalade, peach or apricot preserves (any one is good)
2 Tablespoons cold water
Directions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the cookie dough into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange slices slightly overlapping each other on a foil-lined 14-inch cookie pan. Press the cookies lightly to form the crust. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool, then carefully invert (turn it over) it onto a large plate. Carefully remove the foil then turn the dough back right side up [we use two plates for this]. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with a mixer until well blended. Spread mixture over cooled cookie crust. Arrange the fruit over the cream cheese layer in a circular pattern. Mix the preserves and water and drizzle or spoon it over the fruit [you can also brush it on…it’s a glaze]. Refrigerate and cut into wedges.
That’s it! This is a favorite with our family and a big hit with everyone who tastes it.
Have fun getting creative with your design. Enjoy!
Below are some suggestions for the assorted fruit.
Slices of banana, kiwi, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, red or green seedless grape halves, pineapple chunks, mandarin orange slices, peaches, pears and apples.
