Fruit Pizza  
Mueller Family & Deb Stanley  
Crust:  
First Layer:  
Glaze:  
½
1
¾
cup powdered sugar 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, 2 ½ tablespoons  
½ cups flour  
cup soft margarine (Mueller) 1 teaspoon vanilla  
softened  
cornstarch  
1 cup pineapple juice  
¾ cup sugar  
-or-  
squirt lemon juice (Deb)  
¾
cup cold butter (Deb)  
½ cup powdered sugar (Deb)  
1 teaspoon lemon juice  
(Mueller)  
-or-  
Second Layer: strawberries,  
½ cup granulated sugar  
-or-  
kiwi, peaches, grapes, bananas, (Mueller)  
blueberries, mandarin oranges,  
etc.  
1 tablespoon lemon juice  
(Deb)  
Mix together crust ingredients; pat into pizza pan. Bake at 300º for 10-15 minutes, no  
longer (Mueller) -or- at 350º for 10-12 minutes (Deb). Cool. Beat together cream cheese  
and other first layer ingredients until creamy. When crust has cooled, spread mixture over top  
of crust. Arrange any variety of cut up fruits atop cream cheese layer in an interesting pattern.  
Combine glaze ingredients in saucepan, mixing cornstarch with a small amount of the  
pineapple juice before adding to pan. Heat to a boil; cook until thickened.  
Deb: Pour glaze over fruit while glaze is warm. If using bananas, soak in pineapple juice to  
keep from turning dark. Best if eaten within 5-6 hours.  
Mueller: We like to prepare the glaze before assembling the rest of the pizza. Allow it to cool  
in refrigerator, then spread over pizza when cold. Works best to refrigerate pizza and allow  
layers to "gel" together before slicing.

water. Cover and set aside. Beat egg yolks well. Stir small amount of mint mixture into yolks,  
then stir yolks into mint mixture. In a cold bowl with cold beaters, beat cream until very stiff.
