Fruit Pizza



Here is a fruit pizza recipe.  You can either make little pizzas on individual cookies like Meghan did in the picture, or you can make one large pizza on a pizza stone or in a 9x13 or 10x15 pan.

For the crust:
Use the full (Almond) Sugar Cookie recipe I posted earlier, minus the almond.  You can choose the traditional recipe or the yogurt substitution.  Meghan made about 30 cookies instead of 48 because she used mom's cookie scoop (also will be easier to top if a little bigger).  If you do a large pizza you may want to try to bake it at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  I am not sure exactly how long it will take, but I assume as one large cookie it will take longer than the smaller so you may need the lower temp to avoid burning on the edges?

The filling:
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
4 oz cool whip
1/2 C. sugar
Mix and spread on cooled crust(s).

Add any fruit you want, cut up or whole and place on top.   Top with glaze:

1/4 C sugar
1 T. corn starch
3/8 cup OJ
1/8 cup lemon juce or pineapple juice
Bring to a boil, cool slightly, then pour over pizza.

Refrigerate pizza.

Here are some changes the Brad's sister Brittany made to make it healthier or for her flavor preference.

1) She uses whipped cream cheese (easier to work with)
2) She uses lite cool whip to reduce fat/calories (no change in taste)
3) She does 3/8 cup pineapple juice and 1/8 cup lemon juice or 1/8 cup orange juice (basically she adjusts the juices to the flavor she prefers).

I don't have nutrition facts as I have never made it and there are so many places it can be varied, so sorry but you'll have to do the work yourself! :)
