Fruit Pizza

Crust:
2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 cup cold butter

Filling:
8oz cream cheese softened
small marshmellow cream

Fruit: I usually use:
mandarin oranges
pineapple
kiwi
strawberries
blueberries are good too

Glaze
1/2 c sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 c unsweetend pineapple juice (if you use a can of pineapple chunks just use the juice from the can)
1 T lemon juice

Directions:
In a large bowl combine flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press into an ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly browned.

In another mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and marshmellow cream until smooth, spread on cooled crust. Arrange fruit on top.

For Glaze use a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple juice and lemon juice until smooth. Bring to boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Drizzle over fruit then refrigerate until chilled.

* We love this and make it alot in the summer. You really can use whatever fruit you want and however much of it you want. The filling is just my fruit dip that I make. The glaze isn't always necessary but oh so good :).

I got this recipe from taste of home then changed it up a bit. The actual recipe uses sugar cookie for the base but I think that is to sweet. Enjoy!
