Dessert pizza Recipe

Dessert pizza

INGRIDIENTS:

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

INSTRUCTION:

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 and cool on a wire rack.

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

In a small saucepan over very low heat, make a glaze by heating preserves and water. Brush glaze over fruit, making sure to cover the fruit that will turn dark. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

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

Makes 8 to 10 servings
