PRINTABLE RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 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

Directions:

1. Cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar. Mix in the egg.

2. Sift together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar. Mix until combined. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Chill the dough for about 15 to 30 minutes.

3. Pat the dough into a pizza pan or a 9×13 pan. Just make sure the pan is big enough that you can pat it out enough. I put it in a tart pan and it was too thick and the dough puffed up way too much. Half way through the baking I had to stop and move it to a bigger pan.

4. Bake for 8 to ten minutes. Do not over cook. You want the dough to be nice and chewy.

5. While it is baking, mix up the frosting. Beat the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of sugar. Add the vanilla  and beat until light. Let the crust cool. Spread the frosting evenly on the crust.

6. Load up the pizza with your favorite kinds of fruit. I think raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blue berries, kiwi, mandarin oranges, and bananas are all amazing. You can also throw on some chocolate chips or toasted coconut.
