Fruit Pizza

Cookies + Icing + Fruit = Pizza. 




One heck of an equation, right?  So I'm no mathematician, but I can tell you that adding these ingredients together results in a seriously yummy dessert. BONUS *It has fruit on it, so it's almost healthy. YUM!



This makes a perfect treat to take to dinner parties or to have at home after a meal to sneak a few extra fruits into your kiddo's (or husband's) diet! It is such a nice summery dessert that it can really be a mood booster in the middle of winter if you can get your hands on some decent fruit!

Here's all you need:
- 1 Tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough (or you can be fancy and make your own!)
- 1 8oz brick of cream cheese, ROOM TEMP
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fruit (customize to fit what you like!)

Here's how to make it:
1. Slice cookie dough to thickness indicated in directions on package
2. Instead of spreading cookies on a sheet, arrange them all close together in a circle on a pizza pan. I gently pushed the edges of the cookies together to make one giant cookie crust.
3. Bake as indicated on cookie dough packaging.
4. Cool crust.
5. Using electric beaters, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined and a nice creamy frosting has formed.
6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust.
7. Decorate with whatever fruit you choose!
8. Slice like a pizza and enjoy!
