Fruit Pizza

 Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar
  • Assorted bite-size fruit: strawberries, grapes, kiwi, peaches, blueberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges, etc.

Instructions:

1. Pat the cookie dough over the bottom of an ungreased pizza pan.

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes, or until light brown. Let it stand and cool.

3. While the crust is baking, make the sauce. Combine 1⁄2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and juices in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened, stirring constantly. Let stand until cool.

4. While both are cooling, combine cream cheese, 1⁄2 cup sugar, and the vanilla in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over the cooled cookie crust.

5. Slice or cut fruit as needed. Arrange the fruit over the cream cheese mixture. Have fun with this, using any combination of fruit and arranging as you like. I put mine in rows starting from the outside edge. A patriotic one is fun, using blueberries and sliced strawberries.

6. Spoon sauce over fruit and admire your creation! Chill until served. Cut into wedges.

In a slow cooker, place chicken, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Add 3-4 tbsp. water. 2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until chicken shreds easily. 3. Once the chicken is shredded, stir with a large fork or spoon to combine the other ingredients. Note: The cream cheese may appear to be curdling, but once it's mixed with other ingredients, it will be fine. 4. Add crumbled bacon if desired. 5. Serve hot with your rolls of choice.
