Easy Fruit Pizza Dessert

​Ingredients

• 1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury™ refrigerated sugar cookies
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 kiwifruit, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced
• 1 cup halved or quartered fresh strawberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries SAVE $
• 1/2 cup apple jelly

Directions: 

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Break up cookie dough in pan; press dough evenly in bottom of pan to within 1/2 inch of edge. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
• In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crust.
• Arrange fruit over cream cheese. Stir jelly until smooth; spoon or brush over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. To serve, cut into wedges or squares. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pizza.

EXPERT TIPS:
​

• Get creative with the fruit topping—you can casually arrange the fruit over the top of the cream cheese filling or arrange it in concentric rings to look like a fancy bakery tart.
• Like other refrigerated doughs, cookie dough is easier to work with when cold. This cookie crust is an easy do-ahead; bake it up, cool completely and store covered at room temperature for up to 1 day. Continue as directed in recipe.
• Stir 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest into the cream cheese filling; the tart citrusy edge contrasts with its richness and plays well with the fruit.
• For easier cleanup and removal, we recommend lining the pan with cooking parchment paper. Cut 14-inch round from cooking parchment paper. Line 12-inch pizza pan with cooking parchment paper round, leaving some to hang over edge of pan. Hold the cooking parchment paper in place by adding a dab of shortening or softened butter on pan before placing the parchment. Do not spray or grease cooking parchment paper. Press dough 1/2 inch from edge of lined pan. Bake as directed on recipe.
