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.

GLAZE:
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cold butter
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup fresh blueberries
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Directions In a large bowl, combine flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over crust. Arrange the strawberries, oranges and blueberries on top. For glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, pineapple juice and lemon juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Drizzle over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The better the fruit, the better the fruit pizza will be. Look for fruit that is in season and at its peak of ripeness.
  • Use a variety of fruit: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a unique and delicious flavor combination.
  • Make sure the crust is cooked through: The crust should be golden brown and cooked through all the way to the center.
  • Let the fruit pizza cool completely before slicing: This will help the glaze to set and the fruit to stay in place.
  • Serve the fruit pizza chilled or at room temperature: Both ways are delicious!

Conclusion:
