Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in egg. In a separate bowl, 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, using the palm of your hand. This takes some time, so be patient. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Spread onto cooled crust. Arrange desired fruit on top of filling, chill until ready to serve. Use a knife and metal spatula to remove pizza from the pan.
- Cook’s Note: For a quick crust, use one package of ready- made sugar cookie dough rolled out to fit a pizza pan and bake as directed. Use an assortment of fresh fruit. I used 1 lb. strawberries cut into thirds, 2 bananas, 3 nectarines, 5 kiwis, and a 1/4 cup of blueberries. If using bananas, place them on just before serving as the turn brown quickly.
