Equipment

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1.5 Rolls Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough
  • 1 16 oz package softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups fruit

Lemon Glaze

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 lemons juice of 4 lemons
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray the pizza tray with cooking spray or grease it with butter. 
  • Break the cookie dough into pieces to make it easier to handle, and press it all onto the pizza tray in an even layer ending about a 1/2 inch away from the edge of the pan.
  • Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until the cookie dough no longer looks glossy, but hasn’t yet started to brown.
  • Mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until it is well blended, either by hand or in a stand mixer. Then, spread it over the entire cookie dough crust. 
  • Arrange the fruit of your choice on top of the cream cheese mixture. 
  • Once your fruit pattern is complete, start your glaze. Put the sugar, lemon juice, corn starch, and water into a small saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat to create your citrus glaze.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
  • Allow the glaze to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
  • While it’s still warm, use your brush to spread the glaze lightly over the surface of your fruit. Once the glaze dries it will add a shiny, finished look to your pizza.
