Hold the tomato sauce and mozzarella! Here's a colorful twist on pizza pie. Homemade or prepared pizza crust is baked to a golden crisp, iced with sweet, orange-flavored cream cheese frosting, and topped with each family member's favorite fresh fruit.
Ingredients
CRUST:
- 1 pound purchased pizza dough, or your favorite homemade recipe
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
FROSTING:
- 1 (8-ounce) package low-fat cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
TOPPING:
- Assorted fruit (we used blueberries, banana slices, mandarin orange sections, seedless grapes, kiwi fruit slices, and strawberry halves)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400ยบ.
- Spread the dough in an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan. Brush on the butter and sprinkle on the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake the crust until it's golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool the crust on a wire rack.
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the frosting ingredients with a rubber spatula. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled crust. Gently press in the fruit. Serves 12.
