Sweet Shop Pizza  

Usually pizza is served as a main dish for lunch or dinner. But here, we developed one for dessert. You can also serve this as a fruit course for breakfast or brunch.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

1 package (20 ounces) sugar-cookie dough
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups any combination fresh fruit, sliced thin (such as kiwi, melon, pineapple, berries)
1/2 cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons brandy or apricot nectar
 



METHOD

Preheat the oven to 375°.

Roll the dough out to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut dough out into rounds. Arrange them on a 12-inch pizza pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, overlapping until the pan is covered completely. Press the dough together to seal. Bake the dough for 10 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla and spread evenly over the crust. (The pizza may be made a day ahead at this point and kept covered in the refrigerator.)

Arrange the fruit evenly in a circular pattern, alternating colors and textures. In a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, melt the apricot preserves with brandy, and brush the preserves over the fruit. Chill for 1 hour. Cut the pizza into wedges to serve.
