Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)

Ingredients

  • 1  (18-ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/3  cup  sugar
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  grated orange rind
  • 1  teaspoon  coconut extract
  • 1  (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1  cup  (1-inch) pieces peeled ripe mango
  • 1  cup  sliced banana (about 1 large)
  • 6  (1/2-inch) slices fresh pineapple, cut in half
  • 2  kiwifruit, each peeled and cut into 8 slices
  • 1/4  cup  apricot preserves
  • 1  tablespoon  triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur) or orange juice
  • 2  tablespoons  flaked sweetened coconut, toasted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Cut cookie dough into 8 slices; firmly press slices into a 12-inch round pizza pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Combine sugar, orange rind, extract, and cream cheese in a bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer until blended. Spread cream cheese mixture over cookie crust, leaving a 1/2-inch margin around edges. Arrange mango, banana, pineapple, and kiwifruit on top of cream cheese mixture. Combine preserves and liqueur in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at high 30 seconds or until melted. Drizzle over fruit; sprinkle with toasted coconut. Chill 1 hour.

Fruit pizza is a classic, and this is a great basic recipe. I do kind of change it up a bit though. My version is actually much simpler. For the frosting I just beat the cream cheese and sugar--but i use a teaspoon of almond extract instead of coconut (it is absolutley the secret ingredient!). I also like to add some food coloring to the frosting to make it even prettier-- whatever compliments the fruit I'm topping the pizza with. My favorite is pink frosting with strawberries and kiwis. Ohhh the sweet taste of perfection! also, I love to make the frosting and keep it in my fridge for bagels in the morning. Just spread it on like regular cream cheese and top your bagel with whatever fruit you have (i find halved blackberries especially good!)-- its like dessert for breakfast :)08/02/06
