No. 6My Mother always told me that a real lady never shows up empty handed when you're invited somewhere. It was a lesson on politeness that I remind myself of as soon as I see an invitation in the mail, (or on Facebook). It's totally summer now and I'm sure you fellow housewives have a social calendar booked with graduation parties, bbq's and family reunions. Skip that standard bottle of the wine hostess gift and try your hand at something a little more creative. Whatever could that be? A Fruit Pizza, of course! Yeah, just the name of this quick treat made me say "What the???" This recipe came from a brand new housewife named Katrina, (Congrats again Girly!!) when she brought this amazing munchie to girls night. Naturally, I insisted upon the recipe because I need to spread the word about this!
Katrina's Fruit Pizza
Ingredients
-One batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough recipe (or get crazy and do Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter! Ok, ok... you can use an 18 oz. roll of refrigerated cookie dough, too.)
-One 8 oz. package of softened cream cheese
-1/3 cup sugar
-1/2 tsp vanilla
-Assorted fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, etc.)
-1/2 cup orange marmalade, or apricot preserves
Directions
Cover 14 inch round pizza or jelly roll pan with the sugar cookie dough. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Cool.
Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread evenly over the cookie dough crust, just like pizza sauce. Arrange fruit over the sauce.
Combine orange marmalade (or peach or apricot preserves) with 2 tablespoons of water. Spoon over pizza covering all of the fruit. Chill before cutting into pizza slices and serving.
