Fruit Pizza



There are many ways to create a fruit pizza. You can make your own sugar cookie dough but when you don't have the time, the premade is just as good. I love making this for parties. It's easy and I can just store in the refrigerator until party time. 

Ingredients
1(16.5 oz) refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough

1(8 oz) package Cream Cheese, softened
1/3 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla
Fresh Fruit, Sliced- You can get creative but I usually use Strawberries, Blueberries, and Kiwi.
Instructions 
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray  pizza pan with cooking spray. I2. Spread Cookie Dough evenly in bottom of pan to form crust. 3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. In a bowl beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla  until fluffy. 5. Spread mixture over cooled crust. 6. Arrange fruit over cream cheese. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pizza.
