Recipe Introduction


Well, actually it's a cookie -- but it looks like a pizza. :) And it's quite elegant for parties when you take the time to place each fruit just so.


List of Ingredients




1 pkg. Sugar Cookie Mix (or frozen sugar cookie dough)
1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp. Vanilla
Fruit*
1/2 cup Apricot Preserves, heated and strained

Recipe



For the crust: Prepare cookie mix according to package directions. (Or follow directions on the frozen dough.) Spread evenly on a 12-inch pizza pan. Bake at 350ºF. for 14 to 16 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool completely.

For the filling: Combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl. Beat at low speed of electric mixer until smooth. Spread on cooled crust. Refrigerate until smooth.

For topping. Dry your choice of fruits as thoroughly as possible. Arrange fruits in circles on the chilled topping, working from the outside edge towards the center. Brush fruit with apricot preserves to glaze. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

*Fruit: Peach slices, Banana slices, Blueberries, Grape halves, Kiwi slices, Strawberry slices, Pear slices, Raspberries, Mandarin Orange slices, Blackberries, whatever you like and want to use.
