Fresh Fruit Pizza with Powdered Sugar

Serves 6 in about 1 hour. Strawberries goes in first, and tbsp unsalted butter finishes the pot.

Ingredients

• 1 (16.5 oz) tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 lb strawberries, sliced
• 2 kiwi fruit, sliced and peeled
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 pint raspberries
• 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ - 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ (8 oz) tub whipped topping

Method

1. Warm oven to 350° F.
2. On a parchment lined baking sheet or a 14" pizza pan, roll or press the cookie dough with your hands to form a circle about 12" to 14", and about 1/8" thick.
3. Cook for 10 to 14 minutes, or until just turning light golden in color. It will be soft when you take it out of the oven.
4. Leave it to the cookie cool completely.
5. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
6. Tip in the vanilla and 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until fully incorporated. Tip in another 1/4 cup of the sugar and mix in. Taste, and add more if you want it sweeter.
7. Fold in the whipped topping until fully mixed in. Set in the fridge to chill and become a little firmer.
8. Slice the strawberries and kiwi fruit.
9. When the cookie is completely cooled, carefully transfer to the dish you will be using to serve it from. Make sure you can use a knife on it.
10. Smooth the frosting over the cookie in an even layer, to the edges. Use all of it.
11. Arrange the fruit in any pattern you like. I start from the outside and work my way towards the center. You can do as you like. Be creative!
12. To serve, cut as you would a pizza!
