Fruit Pizza

Fruit pizza is easy to put together and is a certain crowd pleaser.  Not only are they delightful to look at, but fruit pizza provides a healthful alternative to typical high-fat desserts.

Arrange the fruit in an attractive pattern, choosing fruits that represent a variety of colors and shapes.

Cookie dough is commonly used for the crust in fruit pizza, but in the second fruit pizza recipe on the next page, you can enjoy the crunch of rice cereal mixed with butter and marshmallows for a different variation. Changing the flavor and texture of the crust is an easy way to create your own kind of fruit pizza.
