This weekend our GOODe friends Lisa and Scott came over for dinner and a movie. Right on the heels of the BIG FREEZE, I was equipped and ready to quickly pull together a dinner for the night. I grabbed some seasoned ground beef from the freezer and whipped up a couple Deep Dish Pizzas and then threw together THIS:
And yes, it is as good as it looks…
It could have somethin’ to do with the 3 sticks of butter in the crust…
But don’t worry I used a 1/2 cup of Splenda to balance it all out 😉
Then a 1/2 cup sugar
Then as much PURE Almond Extract as you’d like. I like A LOT (2 T)… but you do what your heart tells ya. Make sure it is pure and not imitation… imposters should not be tolerated when it comes to almond extract… Just sayin’.
Cream together.
Then gradually add 3 cups flour 1/2 cup at a time. Note: I accidentally grabbed the whole wheat flour… so my crust is a little off color.
Dump out on a sprayed jellyroll pan and press into shape.
Pop into 350 degree oven until baked through 12-15 minutes.
Mix 1 part whipped cream cheese to 1 part fluff.
I used around 1 1/2 cup of each and mixed through.
Let crust cool completely then cover in icing.
Yummo!
Then top with your favorite fruit.
Want a bite?
Enjoy!

I am NOT a fruit eater. (Wish I was, but I just never have been a big fruit lover.) HOWEVER, I have to say this pizza looks YUMMMMMMY! So beautiful & sounds really good. I may have to try it this summer when we know we're going to have friends or family over to share!
Katie says
Looks great! I can almost taste it now. 🙂

Hi Cris!
How fun to have good friends over and spend time together!
Love the fruit pizza and I wish we could buy fluff here in Utah. All we have is marshmallow cream and I don't think it is quite the same 🙂
Have a fun day!!

I love this stuff. Mom used to make it a lot. She used sugar cookie dough for the crust.
On nights we had this, she also made a veggie pizza with crescent roll crust, hidden valley ranch sauce and raw veggies. We just had it a few nights ago.
I can't remember if I took pics to blog about or not though 🙂

Ohhhh girl!!! I love fruit pizza! Funny thing is, I just told Shawn over the weekend that Fruit Pizza sounded good, and I was going to have to make one real soon. Hummmm, guess you guys thought the same thing! 🙂 Your presentation of it looks beautiful too!

This looks so fresh and inviting! I'm sure all the fruit balances out the cream cheese/marshmallow fluff – right? 🙂
Brenda says
My family loves this but I have not made it in a long time.
