Categories     dessert

Time 37m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Pinch salt
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1 cup blueberries
1 cup sliced kiwi
1 cup sliced nectarines
1 cup raspberries
1 cup strawberries, sliced

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10- to 12-inch tart pan or pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth using a handheld mixer. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the creamed butter, and mix until blended. Remove the dough from the bowl and press it into the prepared pan. (You may need to dust your hands with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking to them; it is a wet dough when it comes together.) Bake until the edges just start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • For the spread: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt until smooth. Spread evenly on the cooled crust.
  • For the glaze: Add the marmalade, 2 tablespoons water and the herbes de Provence to a small skillet and cook over medium heat until loosened and warm.
  • To assemble: Arrange the fresh fruit in the desired pattern on top of the pizza. Brush the fruit with the glaze. Slice and serve.

PATRIOTIC FRUIT PIZZA WITH PECAN SHORTBREAD CRUST



Patriotic Fruit Pizza with Pecan Shortbread Crust image

Torrey's pecan shortbread crust really sets this apart from your average fruit pizza recipe. The crust is crisp and sweet but isn't overly sweet. Her cream cheese spread is thick and the orange zest is just enough to give the mixture a little citrus flavor. We used strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple as suggested and the...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

SPREAD
16 oz (2 boxes) cream cheese (or neufchatel), room temperature
1 medium container whipped topping, 12 oz.
zest of 1 orange (optional)
1/2 c sugar
FRUIT TOPPING (AS PICTURED)
50-60 blueberries, fresh
16-20 strawberries, fresh; sliced or halved
1 can(s) pineapple chunks
or... whatever fruit you want to add
PECAN SHORTBREAD CRUST
3/4 lb (3 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
3 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. FOR SPREAD: In mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, whipped topping, sugar and orange zest (optional) until well-blended. Set aside. Keep cool, but not cold (makes it hard to spread).
  • 2. FOR CRUST: I used a stand mixer with a paddle attachment as this is a VERY stiff dough and I knew my hand would wear out. Preheat oven to 350 F (~175 C).
  • 3. Cream together sugar and butter just until combined.
  • 4. Add extracts and stir into butter/sugar mixture.
  • 5. In separate bowl, whisk flour and salt together.
  • 6. Add flour/salt mix to butter/sugar mix, a little at a time.
  • 7. Add chopped pecans to dough (I chop them by hand) and work dough until nuts are evenly incorporated.
  • 8. Line bottom of jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • 9. Pat out dough to cover bottom (and slightly up sides) of pan. Dough should be about 1/4-inch thick. NOTE: You will probably have leftover dough. LUCKY YOU! Make shortbread cookies! Roll leftover dough into a log, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill it. Then slice into 1/4-inch wide cookies and bake at 350 F for about 15-20 min until golden brown on edges and done in middle.
  • 10. In 350 F oven, bake crust until golden brown around edges and center is cooked but not brown (10-15 min). Let crust cool COMPLETELY before topping it.
  • 11. FOR FRUIT TOPPING: Wash and dry desired fresh fruits (or use drained, canned fruit). If berries are small, use whole. If fruit is larger, cut into bite-size pieces or slices. For this pizza, I cut the strawberries in half.
  • 12. ASSEMBLY: Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust.
  • 13. Arrange fruit in decorative patterns on top of cream cheese.
  • 14. If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate until serving.
