Fruit Pizza

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar 
1 egg 
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon cream of tartar  
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 
1/2 cup white sugar 
2 teaspoons vanilla extract  
1 quart strawberries
2 kiwi
1 cup blueberries
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in egg. combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Press dough into an ungreased pizza pan. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until light. Spread on cooled crust.  Rinse and slice strawberries. Rinse, peel and slice kiwi. Rinse blueberries.  Arrange strawberries, kiwi and blueberries on the pizza.  Eat immediately or refrigerate.  


This is another light and versatile dessert.  I will be honest most of the time I use Pillsbury sugar cookie dough.  Just make sure you grease your cookie sheet if you do.  I also like to use whatever fruit is available.  If you use apples or bananas toss with a tbsp of lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.  If you want to make this pizza fancier drizzle with honey, chocolate sauce, or melted white chocolate.  This would be a great dessert to combat all of that fattening Super Bowl food.  Enjoy!
