Summer = Fruit

Summer is definitely my favorite season, and one of the reasons is that fresh fruit is readily available for a decent price.  I love fresh fruit!  This fruit pizza is the perfect summer dessert.  The recipe came from my mom's good friend, Jackie.  As you may recall, the carrot cake recipe that I posted also came from Jackie's kitchen.  She is amazing, I tell you.

Look at those beautiful strawberries...I picked those by hand with my grandparents!
Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:
1 roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounces cream cheese (whipped style works well)
1/3 cup sugar
Assorted fruit of your choice (berries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, pinneaple, grapes, etc.)

Directions:
1.  Press cookie dough into a round pizza pan or double recipe and use a jelly-roll pan.  Bake until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.  Cool completely.
2.  Stir together cream cheese and sugar.  Spread evenly over cookie crust.
3.  Top with assorted fruit.
