Fruit Pizza

This is the perfect dessert for spring and summer.


Ingredients

1 (16.5) roll of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounce package cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Various fresh or canned fruit of your choice such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, kiwi, grapes, mandarin oranges, peaches
1/3 cup apple jelly
1 Tablespoon water



Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Have the sugar cookie dough thoroughly chilled. Slice cookie dough into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange slices on 12-inch pizza pan. With floured fingers, press out dough evenly in pan. Bake for 16 - 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Cool completely.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Spread over cooled cookie crust.
Arrange fruit on top of cream cheese in decorative design.

In small bowl mix apple jelly and water. Microwave and stir until well combined. Allow to cool.
With a pastry brush, brush the jelly on top of the fruit. It will take on jewel like tones.

Refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
