I've come across many recipes for fruit pizza but none are as good as this one I got from Judy Ramsey (my childhood best friend's mom). I think what sets it apart is the homemade crust- simple and very tasty. I guarantee that once people try it, they won't be able to have just one slice. Top it with any fruits you like. I'd stay away from bananas and apples though because (even when tossed in lemon juice) they will brown. My favorites are kiwi and strawberries. I use Cool Whip Lite and low-fat cream cheese (neufchatel cheese) to lighten it up a little. Use the real thing if you like though. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
3/4 cup dark brown sugar |
1 cup margarine, melted |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
16 ounces cool whip lite |
8 ounces neufchatel cheese, softened |
2 cups powdered sugar |
kiwi fruit, sliced |
strawberry, sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix flour and brown sugar in a large bowl.
3. Add melted butter. Mixture will form a soft dough.
4. Add pecans.
5. Spread onto a pizza pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
6. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes and cool.
7. Mix cream cheese lightly with a mixer.
8. Add Cool Whip to the bowl and continued mixing until fluffy.
9. Stir in powdered sugar a little at a time until you've added 2 cups.
10. Spread the Cool Whip mixture over the cooled crust evenly.
11. Top with your favorite fruits and refrigerate.
