Pictured: fruit pizza topped with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries.
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 2 c flour
- 1 c real butter
- 1/4 c powder sugar
- 1/2 c finely chopped pecans or walnuts, opt
Frosting:
- 1 c powder sugar
- 1/2 t orange juice concentrate
- 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 c cool whip
Toppings:
- diced fruit of choice such as...
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
- banana
- apple
- manderine orange
- peach
- pineapple
- melon
- Crust: preheat oven to 350. Whisk dry ingredients, cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto cookie sheet. Crust will be thin; use rolling pin if necessary. Bake 10-12 min or until crisp and barely browned, cool.
- Frosting: cream powdered sugar, orange juice, and cream cheese. Fold in cool whip.
- Spread frosting on cool crust and top with fruit of choice. Enjoy!
- Also try:
- nixing the crust and making the frosting as a fruit dip.
- color coordinate and make patterns for any occasion (strawberries and blueberries make a great 4th of July flag, or shape crust as an egg and decorate for Easter)
- cut crust into shapes before baking and decorate individual cookies with fruit
So the real question is: do you serve this for dinner or dessert?
ReplyDeleteHahaha...the question indeed! If you're a dessert for dinner kind of girl (or family, as the case may be...), then I say go for it! ;)
DeleteJared tries to convince me over and over how this is a dinner. But I can't be swayed. Poor guy, I don't let him have tapioca pudding for dinner either. :)
