~FRUIT PIZZA~
1 tube(16-1/2oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 cup sugar, divided
2 tbs. cornstarch
1/2 cup orange juice *NOTE AT BOTTOM*
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 pkg(8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 tbs milk
1 tsp. grated orange peel
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups halved strawberries
1 medium peach
1 small banana
1 small apple, sliced thinly
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Let dough stand at room temp for 5-10 minutes to soften. Press onto an ungreased 14-in pizza pan. Bake at 350F for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
In small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, milk, orange peel and remaining sugar until well blended. In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form; fold into cream cheese mixture. Spread over crust. Arrange fruit over filling; spread with reserved glaze. Refrigerate until chilled.
*NOTE*: I used canned pineapple and mandarin oranges for some of my fruit. Keep the juice and use that as part of your orange/lemon juice mixture.
