FRUIT PIZZA EVEN BETTER
Almond extract makes all the difference in this updated version of the traditional fruit pizza. Kiwi makes the topping completely fresh and adds beautiful color. Use low-fat cream cheese for a slightly lighter version. Any clear juice (apple, pear, peach, etc.) may be substituted for the pineapple.

LOW-FAT FRUIT PIZZA
This is a recipe for fruit pizza that I have adapted into a low-fat version. By using low-fat ingredients and fruits that won't brown so you don't have to add a sugary glaze you reduce a lot of fat/calories without sacrificing all the wonderful flavors! (Do not recommend bananas, apples or pears as they will brown feel free to add more than what's listed below.) I tend to double the recipe and make it in a cookie sheet (as shown in the photo). Enjoy!

- Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar and beat till creamy. Spread over crust.
- Arrange fruit and refrigerate before serving. Note: if you're using fruits that will brown you'll want to brush the fruit w/orange marmalade. Should be eaten in 1-2 days.
LOW CARB FRUIT PIZZA
Low carb friendly version of a fun summer treat, this is a pretty dish to bring to pot lucks or picnics, it is really a cheesecake with a nut crust. I adapted this from a recipe posted by Bob on low carb site, tried it over July 4th holiday and it was a winner. For the sugar free sweetner, I used a mix of granular Splenda and sugar free French vanilla syrup, which you can find in the coffee aisle of any supermarket.
