Pizza Crust:

1 Stick Butter  = 8 Tablespoons Softened

3/4 Cup Sugar

1 Egg

1 TSP Vanilla

1&1/2 Cups Flour

1 TSP Baking Powder

1/2 TSP Salt

Beat Butter, add sugar & beat again, add egg & vanilla & beat again. Stir all the dry together & then slowly beat this into the butter mixture. Chill for 1/2 hour. Then spread into a slightly buttered  round pizza pan, I used my tart pan which is about 9&1/2 inches but 10 inch works too! Bake in preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes you want this lightly brown! Remove from oven & let crust cool.

FILLING: 

8 Ounces of Softened Cream Cheese

6 to 8 Ounces of Cool Whip thawed. I use about 6 ounces as I like my filling more cheesecake flavor that Cool Whip flavor.

1 TSP Vanilla

Beat Cream Cheese & vanilla. Add Cool Whip & beat until fluffy. Let this stay chilled as you make your glaze

GLAZE:

1/2 Cup Orange Juice

1/4 Cup Sugar that your stir 1 TBS Cornstarch into until well combined

2 TBS Lemon Juice

1/4 Cup Water OR use the Pineapple Juice if you put Pineapple on the top of your Pizza!

Bring Orange Juice to a simmer, Stir the Pineapple Juice or water into your sugar Cornstarch mixture, stir until smooth. Stir this into your simmering juice & cook stirring the entire time until mixture thickens into a light glaze. It will be about the consistency of syrup. It thickens more when cooled. Let this cool to room temperature. Now assemble that Pizza!

FRUIT!

Use any you like I used.

Canned Pineapple Rings 

Fresh Kiwi

Sweet Cherries halved & pitted

Fresh Blueberries

Strawberries Halved

Red Seedless Grapes

Raspberries

Topped it off with Ghirardelli White Chocolate that I made into Chocolate Curls by using my Potato Peeler & peeling down the sides of the room temperature bar!

Spread the filling over the cooled crust. Lay the fruit over the filling. Spoon the glaze over the fruit. Sprinkle the Chocolate Curls over the top! CHILL! One beautiful & refreshing fun dessert!
