Mom Burgess' Fruit Pizza
This recipe comes from my high school bf's mom. It is a fantastic dish to take to carry in's, get togethers or just to treat you & your family! One of my all time favorites!!
CRUST:
1 c flour
1 stick butter
1/4 c 10x sugar
Mix & press into pizza pan. Bake 350 for 8-10 minutes.
CREAM:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix together & spread over the crust. Chill 15-20 minutes.
FRUIT:
strawberries, bananas, kiwi, grapes, blueberries, etc...
Slice these up (except the blueberries and other small berries you may use) Grapes in half, kiwi into slices, etc Spread these all over the cream layer...fill it up good!
GLAZE:
1 c pineapple juice
2 Tbs cornstarch
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Heat in small saucepan over med heat until thickened & spread over the fruit.
Chill & serve...
This is a great way to get the kids to help in the kitchen. Have them help pick out fruit they want on the pizza at the grocery store, if they are old enough, have them cut up the fruit while you get other things mixed.
