EASY FRUIT PIZZA RECIPE

Tip: For a quick crust, use one package of ready made sugar cookie dough rolled out to fit a pizza pan.

Use an assortment of fresh fruit such as bananas, peaches, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and strawberries. Enjoy.

Bake in oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until light. Spread on cooled crust. Arrange desired fruit on top of filling, and chill.

When the crust is baking, grab a large bowl and mix together the vanilla, powdered sugar and cream cheese. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread on the completely cooled cookie crust. Cut up the fruit and arrange as the "toppings." Chill for one hour. A wonderful fresh fruit pizza recipe.
