Fruit Pizza

-
Fruit Pizza is so easy to make and everyone both young and old alike will absolutely love it! You get a chewy sugar cookie base that’s covered with a luscious cream cheese topping, and layered with a generous amount of vibrantly flavored fresh fruit. Then it’s finished with a sweet apricot jam which gives the pizza the perfect finishing sheen.

Can I Make a Homemade Cookie Crust?

1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup (173g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened but still cool
1  large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fruit pizza with one slice cut.

Directions for Homemade Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds.
  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together sugar and butter.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla then slowly blend in dry ingredients. Butter a rimmed 12-inch pizza pan, line with a round of parchment and butter parchment.
  • Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray then spread cookie dough into an even layer in bottom of prepared pizza pan.
  • Bake 12 – 14 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Homemade truffled mushroom pizza that you can throw on the grill in the summertime or prepare in the oven during the winter months! So easy to make and taste like something you’d get at a fancy pizza parlor! Fancy truffled mushroom pizza.. at home. There are only a few things that make me as happy as movie night and homemade pizza on Friday evenings. If you asked me about an ideal Friday night in my mid-twenties, I guarantee that wouldn’t be my answer back then. But now. As I slowly creep up further and further in my thirties, I’ll gladly be in bed before midnight, stay in on the weekends and prefer it, and not only will I not complain about Brussel sprouts, I favor eating them. With all these new preferences, I also have started to like homemade pizza over your no-frills takeout pizza joints. There’s just something about being able to control the toppings, amount of sauce (or skipping it all together), and having the freedom to throw a big arugula salad on top of my truffled mushroom ...
