fruit pizza - light version


I LOVE this recipe because there is no milk, eggs or sugar :) Still white flour but you could easily substitute it for whole wheat, although I'm not sure how that would taste (ick) :p

Sugar cookie recipe

1 package (8oz) light cream cheese softened
1 cup Smart Balance light butter spread softened
2/3 cup Splenda
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour

BEAT cream cheese, butter, Splenda, and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. mix in flour. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Roll out dough on greased floured pizza pan. Poke with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.

Cream cheese frosting

1 package (8oz) light cream cheese softened
1/2 cup Splenda
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix cream cheese, Splenda and vanilla until creamy and spread on cooled cookie.

Gather your assorted sliced fruits of various colors. My favorites to use for this recipe are strawberries, kiwi, and mandarine oranges. Arrange sliced fruits on top as preferred. Refrigerate. Serve in triangular pizza slices. Enjoy!
