Fruit Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup softened butter, or Smart Balance
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 0.33 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp almond extract (optional)
• 2½ cups flour
• 2½ tsp baking soda
• 2½ tsp cream of tartar

• 16 ounces light cream cheese, at room temperature
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 4 peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 pint blueberries
• Use your imagination. You can use any fresh fruit in any combination: grapes, kiwi, plums, or berries work well.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, and almond extract and beat well.
3. Combine the dry ingredients and gradually add to the creamed mixture, blending well.
4. Divide the dough into two pieces. With lightly floured hands, pat into two lightly greased pizza pans, 12 inches in diameter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly colored. Remove from oven and cool.
5. With an electric mixer, whip together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Spread mixture over cooled crusts. Arrange the fruit slices on top.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, orange, and lemon juices, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Stir in the orange and lemon peels. Cool the sauce to room temperature. When cool, use a pastry brush or spoon to glaze the fruit with the sauce.
7. Chill tart until ready to serve. Serve the fruit pizza the day it’s made or the crust will become soggy.
