There Is A Delicious And Easy Fruit Pizza Recipe

Whether you're looking to host a dinner party with your friends or planning a fun cooking project with the kids, homemade fruit pizzas are the perfect solution. It is also an easy desert recipe for guests.


Delicious and Easy Fruit Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (leave out at room temperature)
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Fresh fruit (I used one package sliced fresh strawberries, one-half package blueberries, and 3 kiwis)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press cookie dough flat onto greased pizza pan (will make a thin layer). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.

In a large bowl, soften cream cheese, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust. You can chill for a while at this point, or continue by arranging the fruit.

Begin with strawberries, sliced in half. Arrange in a circle around the outside edge. Continue with fruit of your choice, working towards the middle. If bananas are used, dip them in lemon juice so they don't darken. Then make a sauce to spoon over fruit.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, corn starch, orange juice, lemon juice and water. Cook and stir over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, and add grated orange rind. Allow to cool, but not set up. Spoon over fruit. Chill for two hours, then cut into wedges and serve.
