Fruit Pizza


We celebrated a co-worker's birthday this morning which means "food day" at work. Everyone brings in snacks to help continue the celebration all day. Since this is the summer season I made a fruit pizza which everyone enjoyed for breakfast and an afternoon snack.

This is the perfect treat for the summer and always looks beautiful.

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Assorted fruit (such as kiwi fruit, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, blueberries, any other of your favorite fruits)

GLAZE:
1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. orange juice

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place thawed dough on lightly floured surface and roll out to a 13 inch circle. Transfer to a 12 inch pizza pan. Bake 20 minutes or until golden; let cool.
Blend cream cheese, vanilla extract and sugar together until smooth; gently spread over pastry. Arrange fruit over cream cheese mixture.

FOR GLAZE: Boil the ingredients for one minute. Brush over fruit, especially bananas.
Chill for 2 to 3 hours. Serves 8.
