Fancy Fruit Pizza
Fancy Fruit Pizza
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup confectioners’ sugar
½ cup cold butter, cubed
Glaze
5 t. cornstarch
1¼ cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 t. lemon juice
Toppings
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
⅓ cup sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, mix flour and confectioners’ sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan. Bake until very lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. In a small saucepan, mix glaze ingredients until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread over crust. Top with berries and mandarin oranges. Drizzle with glaze. Refrigerate until cold.
Editor’s note: We made mini versions of the Asian and fruit pizzas for our photo shoot. We were able to make about 3 mini pizzas per each 12-inch pizza recipe.
