Delicious Fruit Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice cookie dough and arrange the slices on a greased pizza pan, slightly overlapping the edges. Press the dough flat to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then let it cool completely.
2. In a large bowl, soften the cream cheese, then gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust. You can chill it at this stage for a bit, or proceed to arrange the fruit toppings.
3. Start with strawberry halves, arranging them in a circle along the outer edge of the crust. Continue layering with other fruits of your choice, working your way toward the center. If using bananas, dip them in lemon juice to prevent browning. Next, prepare the glaze to drizzle over the fruit.
4. In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, orange juice, lemon juice, and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, until the glaze has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the grated orange zest. Let the glaze cool slightly, but not completely set. Spoon the glaze evenly over the arranged fruit. Chill the fruit pizza for at least two hours before slicing into wedges and serving.
