Vanilla Fruit Pizza Recipes

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
• Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined, about 2 minutes.
• Either press the dough evenly into a 14 inch pizza pan, or roll out into a 14 inch circle and put on a cookie sheet. You can use a sharp paring knife to trim up the edges, or leave them for a more rustic look.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
• Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, pudding powder, and vanilla together until smooth and light. Spread evenly across the cooled crust.
• Prep your fruits by rinsing them and allowing them to drain completely. Slice as desired and arrange on the pizza as desired. If you would like the glazed look of a fruit tart, mix a few tablespoons of apricot jam with a little water and then brush across the fruit. Serve immediately.

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 390°F/200°C degrees.
• In a bowl, using a hand mixer cream together the sugar and the butter until it's well combined and creamy (about 1 minute). Mix in the egg and the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour along with the baking powder and salt, and beat with the mixer on slow speed until just combined.
• Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper, grease your hands with cooking spray then spread the dough in the pan in an even layer. You will have to use your hands to press down the dough.
• Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes. The cookie base does not have to brown, it might look undercooked but that's totally fine as baking it for longer will dry it out. Remove from the oven, and cool completely on a cooling rack.
• To make the cream cheese frosting, whip the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Add the powdered sugar in batches to avoid getting a sugar storm.
• Once the cookie base has cooled completely, using a spatula spread the cream cheese frosting over the cookie dough base, and then decorate with fresh fruit creating a pattern. Drizzle/brush the fruit with honey if desired.
