Makeover Fruit Pizza

There’s nothing better than a guilt-free dessert, especially when it’s topped with refreshing and colorful fruit. We skimmed the calories and fat from a traditional fruit pizza to create one with about half the calories, fat and cholesterol.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • GLAZE:
  • 5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • TOPPINGS:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups halved fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix flour and confectioners’ sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake until very lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a small saucepan, mix glaze ingredients until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over crust. Top with berries and mandarin oranges. Drizzle with glaze. Refrigerate until cold.
