The Usual Fruit Pizza


Crust:
Cream together 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and one egg. Mix in 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp. cream of tartar, and 1/2 tsp. baking soda.

Press dough into pizza pan (or into two pie plates) and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool.

Filling:
Mix well 8 oz. cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons lemonade or pineapple juice. Spread over cooled crust.

Arrange fruit of your choice on top of filling.

Glaze:
If the pizza won't be eaten immediately, brush this glaze on top to keep the fruit from browning.
In a saucepan, mix together 3/4 cup pineapple juice and 3/4 lemonade (or 1 1/2 cups lemonade or pineapple juice) with 2 tablespoons corn starch. Bring to a boil while stirring and boil one minute until thickened and clear. Spread glaze over top of pizza and refrigerate until ready to gobble.

  1. Thank you for the recipe!

    . . . I'm thinking if I made it, I would have to make at least 6 pizzas. This sounds like the kind of dessert you could eat forever without feeling like puking.(Which I suppose is rather telling to our normal dessert eating practices, balanced out only by the fact we don't have dessert very often.)

    (P.S. I feel weird commenting under my blogger idenity.)
