fruit pizza

we made fruit pizza yesterday. It was pretty tasty. I would have like to put more fruit on it but i used what i had on hand. Strawberries, bananas and melons would have been good. I put kiwi, grapes and blueberries. I didnt do the glaze either, just didnt feel like it. It still turned out yummy. A good summer treat

1/2 package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounces of whipped light cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup apricot preserves
Fruit of your choice (sliced bananas, sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi, seedless grapes cut in half, blueberries, melon balls sliced in half)


Directions
CRUST: Spread the package of sugar cookie dough over a 14-inch pizza pan. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool in the pan. TOPPING: Blend the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla until completely mixed. Spread in a thin layer over the cooled crust. FRUIT LAYER: Creatively arrange the fruit in circles while slightly overlapping the slices around the crust. GLAZE: Bring the water and preserves to a boil, stirring constantly. Lightly brush this glaze on top on the fruit to preserve the color. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
