Fruit Pizza

This is the all-time perfect summer dessert. Fresh fruit mixed with cream cheese deliciousness...How can you go wrong? This is by far my favorite fruit pizza recipe. The crust is only slightly sweet, so it compliments the toppings. Serve this at brunch or as a dessert and you will have your guests raving! It makes a beautiful presentation and let's face it...nobody can stop at just one slice! Be creative...this is a work of art! My preference (albeit the slower option) is to cut my fruit into tiny pieces and layer them closely together. This makes it so that there is great variety in each bite. You can make this in a large cookie sheet or a circular pie pan. Refreshing and amazingly yummy!
