Fruit Pizza

I've had fruit pizza several times and I've always hated it. I think the version I've always had was the sugar cookie crust with cream cheese "sauce" and then the fruit on top. Something about how dense it was always turned me off.

So I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived at a friend's house recently, tried her fruit pizza and wanted seconds and thirds! It was a little lighter, with a thin crispy crust, so good! Here's the one I made, but I didn't alter her recipe at all except for the fruit, so full credit goes to my friend Tenneal.


Fruit Pizza
Recipe from Tenneal Reus

1 refrigerated ready to use pie crust
1 tsp cinnamon sugar (3/4 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
1 1/4 cups of half and half
1 pkg Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding and Pie 4oz
1 c thawed cool whip (they make it in a spray can now! That's what I used!)
2+ cups of fresh fruit, sliced

Preheat oven to 450, unroll pie crust and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake for 8 to 10 min, cool completely
Pour half and half into medium bowl and dry pudding mix, beat until well blended. Gently stir in whip cream.
Spread pudding mixture over top of pie and top with fruit, refrigerate until use
Enjoy!
