Fruit Pizza

Recipe provided by Mrs. Cummings.

In this recipe we made a sugar cookie based crust, along with a cream cheese frosting, and then an assortment of cut up fruit to your preference.

I first started by creaming together the butter, and sugar until it was smooth. I did this because you don’t want any lumps in your crust and if it is not creamed it will not come out correctly. After it was creamed I added the eggs and mixed it until the eggs and the vanilla until it was blended well inside of the cream. Then I added all of my dry mixes like the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. After it was creamed and blended correctly, I spread the dough out evenly on an ungreased pizza pan. Cooked it in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. After it was cooked to a nice golden brown I removed the crust and left it to cool.

For the frosting I made sure to blend the cream cheese until it was lump free, just so your frosting didn’t come out with big cream cheese lumps. Once it was all smooth I added the vanilla and powdered sugar, then blended it until it was nice and smooth. I then spread the frosting evenly over the cooled pizza crust.

After I got my frosting spread I cut up my fruit. I cut my pineapple, apple, kiwi, and oranges into small enjoyable bites. After they were all cut up I started to place them onto my pizza in a neat pattern so it looked pleasurable to the eye. After it was all placed I cut up to share with people.

I thought that the pizza was delicious overall. I would have liked if the crust tasted more like a sugar cookie simply because I have a sweet tooth. I also wish I hadn’t placed the oranges onto it because they were bigger than the other fruit and harder to cut up.
