Fruit Pizza

Fruit Pizza

Serves 8 as a dessert

Level of difficulty: Easy

This is a fun dessert to make with the kids - they have a ball arranging the fruit on top! Enjoy this with our abundantly fruity State Lane Orange Muscat!

Ingredients:
1 package of sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 oz cream cheese, softened
(1) large can chunk pineapple
Fresh strawberries, sliced
3 kiwis, sliced
Fresh berries: blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries
½ cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup lemon juice
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:
To make the crust: press sugar cookie dough into a 15” pizza pan. Bake according to package directions. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

In a small bowl, mix sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese until smooth. Spread on cooled cookie crust. Layer fresh fruit on cream cheese in any order you like.

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, cook pineapple, orange, and lemon juice with ½ cup sugar and cornstarch until thick and clear, stirring constantly. Pour over fruit and refrigerate. Slice and serve.
