Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:

1 roll sugar cookie dough (or see sugar cookie recipe below)
1 pkg. softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 - 10 ounce pkg. of frozen strawberries, sweetened
1 can mandarin oranges
1 small can pineapple tidbits
1 sliced banana
2 to 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Crust:
If using pre-made cookie dough, cut 1/8 inch slices and place on pizza pan or cookie sheet with edges slightly overlapping. If using homemade cookie dough, pat cookie dough on pizza pan or cookie sheet - 1/8 inch thick.

Cook either dough at 350-degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.

Cream Cheese:
Mix soft cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. When crust is cool, smooth mixture over it.

Topping & Sauce:
Drain strawberries, mandarin oranges and pineapple - reserve juices for strawberries & pineapple separately. Lay fruit on top of cream cheese mixture. Mix 2 to 3 Tbls. of cornstarch to pineapple juice until milky and set aside. Heat strawberry juice and slowly stir in pineapple/cornstarch mixture until it is the consistency of maple syrup. Drizzle on fruit, especially all of the bananas to keep from discoloring. Keep in refrigerator.

Sugar Cookie Dough:
Cream together:
½ cup butter
1 cup sugar

Blend in: 1 large egg

Sift together and add:
2 ¼ cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon vanilla
Chill for 30 minutes.

Thanks to Jare!
