Fruit Pizza

I am in the mood for something sweet and yummy. Something to remind me of summer. This is a easy recipe and you can make this ahead of time. I like to make this with my kids, it is healthy nibbling while you cook. If you are making this for an event - like the Super Bowl - be sure to tell everyone not to eat it. I once made this for a get together and my kids came home from school and ate most of it. When I asked them " Ahck what were you thinking?" They replied that my note had said "If not home when you get home, have a healthy snack and start on your homework. Fruit is a healthy snack." Don't you just love them?

Pizza

1 package refrigerator sugar cookie dough
1 eight ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar

3 tablespoons lemon juice
Combination of fresh and/or canned fruit, enough to cover pizza 1-2 inches high. You may choose 1 fruit [i.e strawberries] or combination [i.e. strawberries, blueberries, grapes, bananas, kiwi fruit, pineapple, peaches, and mandarin oranges]. If you choose 1 fruit you will need 3-4 cups, if you choose the combination you will need 1/2 to 3/4 cup each.

1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup hot water

If you serve this for Super bowl you can cut your pizza into a football shape and use the fruit to outline your football. Blueberries make good stitching for the ball.
