Fruit Pizza

This recipe is for my favorite Candle Lady, Lori!! Serve as is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

1 roll Pillsbury sugar cookie dough

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

assorted fruit

Glaze (see below)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a pizza pan.

2. Open sugar cookie roll and spread dough in pizza pan to form crust. Bake for approx. 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

3. In mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over cooled cookie crust.

4. Arrange fruit as desired on cream cheese filling. Berries, kiwi, citrus, apples, pears...all work well!

5. Drizzle glaze over fruit and allow to set before serving.

Glaze:

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. butter

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 tbsp. orange juice

Directions:

1. Melt butter in small saucepan. Add brown sugar and orange juice and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until sauce thickens.

2. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Do not allow it to overcool as it will become too thick to drizzle.

3. Drizzle over fruit.
