Pizza Pie a la fruit

Can you guess where I'm going with this blog? That's right.....fruit pizza! My friend Nancy makes this wonderful creation, I'm sure that the recipe has been around forever. It's just one of those things that you forget how sublime it is until you try it again. Overlooked, but NOT forgotten. The glaze is the key....I'm hoping that she will make it for her sons graduation in a couple of week.

Nancy's Fruit Pizza

1 roll of sugar cookie dough (softened)
1 8oz cream cheese (softened)
1 12oz cool whip

Press cookie dough into a large round pizza pan, not quite to the edge. Bake for 10-15 min or until golden brown. (It doesn't say, but I would use directions on package for temp.) Cool completely.

Mix softened cream cheese and cool whip together. Once crust is cool spread with cream cheese mixture. Select any fruits that you like and slice into bite size pieces. Strawberries, melons, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, bananas, etc.....
Arrange fruits on top of the cream cheese and top with glaze.

Glaze:
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 Tbsp. cornstarch

Mix everything together and cook until thick. Cool and pour over fruit. Best if made and eaten the same day. You may substitute strawberry cream cheese and strawberry cool whip if you wish.
