In the mean time here is mine


1 tube sugar cookie dough

prepare according to package directions, reducing space between cookies to 1/4 of recommended. may require up to 4 minutes extended baking time, check color at 1 minute intervals if using extended baking.

8oz cream cheese
3oz sour cream
2tsp vanilla
2-3 round tablespoons brown sugar

blend until smooth, adjust flavor to taste. refrigerate overnight.

3 white flesh nectarines
2 ripe bananas
2 ripe plums
1/4 cup sweet blueberries or raspberries

slice nectarines and plums into 12 wedges pole to pole
slice bananas just barely thicker than fruit
spread topping on cookie
outer ring of nectarine, next banana, next plum, fill with blueberries

optional, melt 1/3 cup apple jelly in microwave, stir till just beginning to thicken, brush over fruit.

one may substitute strawberries for the plums.

Please don't use pudding. Pastry cream is just a stirred custard. Or go with a cream cheese base.

Puff pastry is one option, have you thought about croissant dough? Laid out flat, points in the middle like a pinwheel? Voortman makes a darn good SF shortbread swirl cookie that can be made into individual pizzas.

You'll need stronger flavors from your fruit. Can you get away with stronger textures? Drop the bananas, go with normal nectarines, contemplate mango. (Cube it so it isn't stringy)

Apple jelly is still a fine sealant, but I wouldn't decline pineapple. Yes, you can find NSA apple jelly.


P.S. Would a supreme of citrus be inappropriate?

Start with crescent dough. For a standard pizza pan, one roll. If you use a large or oversized pan, two rolls. Lightly grease the pan with the item of your choice (spray or hand grease)

Spread out the dough on the pan. Bake it in the oven following whatever instructions the crescent roll can states (usually 375 for 10-12 I think) Allow to cool completely.

Using either one or two blocks of cream cheese (depending on your pizza size), ,,,I use fat free cream cheese....allow the cheese to soften. Using an alternative sweetener (light agave, stevia, or, if you have to, Splenda) sweeten the cream cheese to your taste. Add a teaspoon of vanilla. Spread evenly over cooled crust.

Spread raspberries and blueberries over the crust. You can add blackberries, but I like just raspberries and blueberries. 2 pints of raspberries to one of blueberries, however, any you need. An oversized pan can need 3 pints of raspberries and a few extra blueberries, but never more than a single layer. I have substituted strawberries and mixed them in too.

In a pan, use one box of mixed fruit sugar free jello (the regular size) and the same size cook and serve sugar free vanilla pudding. Mixed fruit is getting harder to find, and I have used raspberry to success. Dump in a pan, add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water. Cook slowly until simmer and it turns a thicker, rich color. remove from heat and allow to cool. Drizzle over the berries on top of the crust. At this point you can add things like nuts or coconut, etc, but I like it just like this.

Put in a fridge to cool. I cut int squares when ready. This is always requested, and when I serve it to people I do not know, they always request the recipe.


on edit - edited the water to say 3/4 instead of 3.4

Make it like a regular pizza.

You can use sweetened ricotta or marscapone. Thinly sliced fruit, or precook some.

We always used regular pizza dough to make pizz'frit, which is commonly called 'fried dough.' Then we'd put powdered sugar on it.
