#47 Fruit Pizza


Well, some people loved this, but I didn't. The combo of sugar cookies, cream cheese, and fruit just didn't do it for me (although I love all of those things separately). Girl Ray mentioned that her family used whipped cream instead of cream cheese, and I do believe, should I make this again, I will follow suit. I used strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and apriums (the pluots' cousin). It sure is pretty, huh? The recipe comes from Paula Deen.

Pizza Dough:
1 package store-bought sugar cookie dough

Toppings:
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large peach, sliced
1 large green apple, sliced
1 large orange, sectioned
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
6 ounces fresh blueberries
6 ounces fresh raspberries
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Flatten cookie dough onto a 6-inch pizza pan. Bake until firm to touch, about 11 to 15 minutes. Cool. In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar. Spread the baked cookie with the cream cheese mixture and decorate with sliced fruit. In a small bowl, combine melted white chocolate with chocolate syrup. Top the pizza with remaining berries and chocolate mixture. Slice and serve immediately.

Grade: C+

I also like all of these things on their own (especially bllueberries) but am not crazy about this. Please do not take it personally. I have had it before and didn't like it then either.

Please...you did she that I gave it a C-, didn't you? Clearly I agree with your assessment.

SUGAR COOKIES! I knew that crust tasted deliciously familiar. Gotta say, even if you didn't like the taste, it is beautiful to behold! =)

I bet the whipped cream would be good! I liked this because I love soft-in-the-middle sugar cookies and fruit.
