This recipe comes to me from an old roomate Maryann. Wherever you are Maryann...you should know that this has been made so many times and by so many people that I cannot count. It is easy and something that you can throw together using ingredients that you usually have at home..........perfect for any kind of fruit and for after any meal. It is a summer staple in my home, but some winter nights are brightened up by this fruity treat as well.
cookie crust:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
1 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
filling:
1 8 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
glaze:
1/2 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves
1 tablespoon hot water
cream butter and 1/4 cup sugar, add egg, flour and baking powder. spread onto a greased pizza pan. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Cool.
mix cream cheese with sugar and vanila. Pour over cookie. Place fruit on top. You can use anything...I like to make a circle of strawberries, a circle of kiwi, fill the center with blueberries - or use orange slices or grapes....just make a pretty pattern and use lots of colors. top with glaze and serve
I can attest to that, fruit pizza has become a staple in my repetoire!
