Fruit Pizza I don't know what I like more about this dessert, the fact that it's so pretty, or that it tastes so good! This is my daughters favorite. She was begging me to make it again for the longest time. Once I did, I remembered why. :)

The crust is a sugar cookie, I simply use the pre-made roll from the store. Why complicate life, right? The "sauce" is creamy, the toppings are sure to wow at your next gathering, even if it's just around your own dinner table.

Impressive dessert, very little time.

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: About 12 servings

Source: Modified from a recipe in my Red Hat Society cookbook

Ingredients:

1 (16.5 oz) roll pre-made sugar cookie dough
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blackberries
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1 Tbsp water

Steps:

Grease your cookie sheet, round or rectangular will do.
Press your dough evenly onto your pan. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for about 10 minutes. Please be careful not to overcook your cookie. You want your "crust" to be soft and chewy.

With an electric hand mixer, beat your softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. When your cookie has cooled, spread this evenly over it.
Place your fruit evenly atop your "sauce". You may use any fruit you like, including canned. I simply prefer fresh berries.
In a small bowl, whisk your preserves with your water until well blended. Drop this evenly over your pizza. You may use any jam or jelly, orange marmalade is delicious too.
Cut and serve!
