I have been on the hunt for a light summer dessert and this was perfect. It’s a looker but also tastes fantastic.

It probably doesn’t need the glaze at all if you are in a hurry but it definitely gives it a more finished gourmet look and sets it apart from other fruit pizzas.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 18 ounce package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 7 ounce container marshmallow creme fluff
  • Your favorite fruit to top it: I like using strawberries, blueberries, and kiwis.

Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press dough flat into pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, soften cream cheese, beat until fluffy, then fold in marshmallow creme. Spread over cooled crust. You can chill for a while at this point, or continue by arranging the fruit.
  • Begin with sliced strawberries. Arrange in a circle around the outside edge. Continue with fruit of your choice, working towards the middle. Then make the sauce to spoon over fruit.
  • For the glaze: In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, corn starch, orange juice, lemon juice and water. Cook and stir over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, and add grated orange rind. Allow to cool, but not set up. Spoon over fruit. Chill for two hours, then cut into wedges and serve.
