Easy Fruit Pizza Recipe for Summertime
This has a light and delicate shortbread like crust. The cream cheese layer is sweet but not overpowering, add some fresh fruit and the pineapple glaze is good. It has a small sweetness, but not too much. And what I like is that it’s a pineapple base glaze vs lemon. All the glazes seem to be lemon and I’m not a big fan of lemon!
I lined my pizza pan with foil because there are holes in it!

I love fresh fruit, I love cookies, I love pizza…I mean, this is really the perfect little dessert for summertime, isn’t it? It’s bright and beautiful, it has FRUIT so it is basically a salad right? I mean…it’s healthy-ish…
This is what I am going to tell myself to justify it. Join me!
Do you love Kiwi? Cherries? Mandarin oranges? I know that I do! Oranges, pineapples and kiwi just scream SUMMERTIME to me! I am currently trying to get a pineapple I purchased at Whole Foods to grow roots so that I can plant it and make a baby pineapple. I’ve heard that it takes two years, but let’s face it…What else do I have to do? I have plants all over the house and I can’t eat any of them. I WANT TO GROW SOMETHING I CAN EAT! Even if I have to wait two years.
