The Kitchen Table

Fruit Pizza

18 years ago

I made Fruit Pizza for a pot luck today at my sister-in-law's and thought I would post it while the recipe is still in my head. It would look pretty with blueberries and red raspberries for the Fourth dessert.

FRUIT PIZZA

1 17 ounce slice and bake roll of sugar cookie dough

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 c sugar

1 c apricot jam

1 c whipping cream

1 tsp vanilla

a little orange juice or orange flavored liquour for thinning the apricot jam

fresh fruit

Grease a 12-13 inch pizza pan. Cut chilled cookie dough into 1/8 inch slices and arrange touching on pizza pan. With wet fingers, press dough into gaps and even out. Bake for 10 minutes in a 375 oven. Remove from oven and using the flat bottom of a cup, press the cup into the dough flattening the center, leaving a thin ridge of crust higher around the edge. Return to oven till golden--just a couple of minutes.

Cool cookie crust. Melt the apricot jam over low heat and strain it through a sieve. Thin with juice or liquour. Brush apricot mixture on the crust.

Whip the cream till fluffy and add vanilla. In another bowl whip the softened cream cheese with the 1/2 c sugar till fluffy. Gently whip into the cream cheese mixture 1/2 the whipped cream. Then fold in the rest.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over cooled crust. Top the "pizza" with dry fresh or canned fruit--berries, canned mandarin orange slices, sliced apricots or peaches, any mixture you like. (Pineapple may be too acidic, so avoid that.) Then paint the fruit with more apricot mixture. Chill till serving time.

I make this a lot for summer picnics, but I use a slightly different method.

For the crust, I use Pepperidge Farm puffed pastry, rolled into a circle, then baked.
When it's cool, i spread a thin layer of melted chocolate chips with a pastry brush. This seals the crust, ans keeps it from getting soggy.
Then, I make cooked Jello vanilla pudding, with a tablespoon of cornstarch added (makes it thicker). Cool, then spread on top of the chocolate.

Then, I add the fruits and glaze.

Bring along for a pizza beer party

Maybe an alternative to beer for the non-beer drinkers? Some wine, maybe? Some good tea? Actually, as for desert, it might be a good idea, since people *should* be slowing down on the drinking of beer towards the end of the party, and some desert with some tea or coffee could be good. Some people make fruit pizza. The one I've tasted was way too sweet, but if done right, it doesn't have to be so sweet. There's also chocolate pizza. Sorry, I don't have any recipes up my sleeve, but I don't think they would be difficult to make. Sally

We do one like this but we put fresh sliced fruit on top, then a dab of whipped cream. they look quite fancy by the time they are done. my friend omits the whipping cream, melts chocolate chips with a little bit of oil and drizzles it on the fresh fruit. so yummy!

Strawberries and kiwi look great, too along with whatever else is fresh in your area.
I am sure my friend will make me a fruit pizza when I go visit her later in the summer.
