Fruit Pizza

Ingredients for TWO separate pizzas:
2 rolls of store bought sugar cookie dough (or use your own sugar cookie recipe)
Variety of fruits (strawberries, bananas**, kiwi, grapes, blueberries, mandarin oranges, etc.)
8 oz of cream cheese
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 small tub of whipped cream

Directions:
1. Roll out cold dough to form a "pizza" shape
2. Bake according to the package's directions, but add a few more minutes. You want to overcook it slightly (golden brown all over) so that it's baked well in the center. Plus, the toppings will soften it up.
3. Let the dough cool completely before adding on the toppings!
4. Whip the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped cream in a mixer on high speed. Make sure all the chunks of cream cheese are all smoothed out. Spread evenly onto the dough.
5. Decorate the pizza with your choice of fruit.

**If you use bananas, dunk them in a little bit of lemon or lime juice to keep them from browning.

Note: You really don't need that much fruit to cover the pizza. For TWO pizzas I used one small box of strawberries, 2 kiwis, 2 bananas, and a handful of blueberries.
