Fruit Pizza Even Better image

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.

Time 1h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

butter-flavored cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup cold butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-inch round pizza pan with butter-flavored cooking spray.
  • Combine flour and confectioners' sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into prepared pizza pan to make a crust.
  • Bake in preheated oven until very lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup white sugar, and almond extract until smooth; spread over completely cooled crust. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi decoratively over cream cheese mixture.
  • Mix pineapple juice, 1/2 cup white sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly and drizzle over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled.
