Fruit Pizza
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!

We're back
I thought it was such a creative idea...until I found out that the internet already contains all sorts of variations!

Pizzookie
This is from Firehouse Pizzeria, and I highly recommend it. But, if you are not going to be in Logan, UT any time soon, you can make your own at home. There is a wonderful invention called a "Skookie" that allows you to make these cookies, brownies, and pizzas in personal portions.

It might be good to cure the iron before you use your Skookie, or your food will have an interesting after-taste. But, after that, enjoy!

Where it all began
Perhaps the most stressful dessert experience of my life was trying to make desserts for my wedding reception. As a starting post, I thought I would share the results:
Cream puffs, brownie cups, and jell-o trifles (among other things). Can life get better? I submit that it cannot.
And, of course, there was the beautiful cake (for which I cannot take credit...except for asking the most talented chef, and my personal food hero, to make it):
Hopefully you, too, can find the joy of being deep in desserts.
