Fruit Pizza

This is a very fun activity for the kids.

First of all you need:
1 13 x 17 sheet pan (or similar size)
2 packages of sugar cookie dough from the dairy case
1 8 oz. container whipped cream cheese
1 8 oz. container whipped topping
1 cup powdered sugar
Fruit to make designs on the top of the pizza. Suggestions: can of sliced pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, can of mandarin oranges, or kiwi.

Spread the sugar cookie dough on the ungreased sheet pan. Bake at 350* until light brown. This is the crust for your pizza. Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar. Then, add whipped topping. Refrigerate until cookie has cooled. Drain the canned fruits. (Saving the juices for a later date to make a smoothie or add to jello). Slice the strawberries and peel and slice the kiwi. Rinse blueberries. Put all of the fruit items in separate bowls so the kids can have easy access to the fruit when making their designs.

The crust has cooled so spread on the cream cheese mixture, leaving a little edge of the cookie showing just like on a pizza. Then, be creative and make designs on the cream cheese layer with the fruit portions. When finished, cover with saran and keep in refrigerator until ready to slice and serve.

Very pretty and lots of fun.
