Fruit Pizza


Prep Time: twenty minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 32 minutes

Ingredients:

one (18-ounce) package refrigerated cookie dough
one (8-ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or other flavoring (almond, orange, or lemon)
Fresh blueberries, banana slices, mandarin orange sections, seedless grapes, strawberry halves, kiwifruit (or any other
1/2 cup orange, peach, or apricot preserves
one Tablespoon water

Preparation:


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line an ungreased 14-inch pizza pan with cookie dough cut in 1/8-inch slices, overlapping slightly. Bake 12 minutes or until light brown; remove from oven & chilled on a wire rack.


In a small saucepan over low heat, make a glaze by heating preserves & water. Brush glaze over fruit, ensuring to cover the fruit that will turn dark. Refrigerate until prepared to serve.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, & vanilla extract or other flavoring; spread over cookie crust. Arrange fruit over cream cheese layer in any design you require (use your imagination).

Note: This does not keep well, so plan on using it up. You may also use your own sugar cookie recipe than the refrigerated dough.

Makes 8 to ten servings
