Ingredients

1 (16.5-ounce) roll sugar cookie dough

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assorted fruits, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup orange marmalade

2 tablespoons water

Directions

Heat oven to 325. Line a 12-inch pizza pan with foil, covering rim.

Cut cookie dough into 1/8-inch slices, and arrange in circular pattern, starting at outer edge and slightly overlapping slices at center. Bake for 20 minutes or until dough is slightly browned. Remove from oven, and allow to cool completely.

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract together until smooth. Evenly spread cream cheese mixture on cooled cookie crust.

Prepare fruits and arrange on “pizza” as desired.

Combine orange marmalade and water in a small bowl. Spoon or brush glaze evenly on fruit. Chill for at least 30 minutes. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut fruit pizza into slices.

Note: I traditionally use 1 cup sliced strawberries, 2 sliced small bananas and
1 medium sliced peach as toppings. But any fruits, including berries, kiwis, grapes, pineapples, mandarin oranges, tangerines, etc., may also be used.
