Fruit Pizza

Although I am more concerned about tastiness, my better half is usually more concerned about looks. With our powers combined, we can create some pretty good things. Here is one of our favorites.



For Krista, you will notice that it does not involve chocolate. For Jenny, you will notice that the recipe is included. :)

FRUIT PIZZA:
Mix 1/2 C. margarine, 3/4 C. sugar, 1 egg, 1 1/3 C. flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Chill dough 1 hour. Press on greased 14" pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Cream together 1 package cream cheese (8 oz., softened), 1/3 C. sugar, and 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Spread over cooled crust. Arrange sliced fruit over cream cheese mixture. Possible fruits include kiwi, bananas, mandarin oranges, cherries, strawberries, and pineapple. As Brian Regan would say, "an endless selection."

Hints: do not overcook the dough. It might not look finished, but it probably is and will continue to cook on the pan after you take it out of the overn.

Also, if you are using fruits like bananas or apples, remember to soak them in pineapple or lemon juice first to keep their color!
