The One With Acres of Fruit

This has to be one of my favorite desserts in the world. I had to make enough Fruit Pizza for 60 people, and as it turned out, it was about enough for a hundred. I got to bring home a whole pan, which was cause for celebration around the house, since the kids and the missionaries helped assemble the pizzas and didn’t get to eat any…this is super fun to make with the family, because they can put all the fruit on. Feel free to make this in a round pizza pan and slice into wedges...I do it this way because I can’t stop myself from cooking for an army.

This is what it looks like before the glaze. You can use refrigerated cookie dough…but of course I don’t recommend it. It only takes a couple of minutes to throw together some nice sugar cookie dough, and I promise you that you will taste the difference. You can even make your sugar cookie dough ahead of time, and refrigerate it. Just bring it to room temperature in order to press it easily into the pan. My sugar cookie recipe isn’t included on the Fruit Pizza Recipe...but I will post it tomorrow. Because you really ought to make some pretty sugar cookies for Easter anyway, right?

In fact, if you are really, really nice, I will post a couple of variations on my sugar cookie recipe that will make you cry, they are so good...have you ever had a Glazed Lime Cookie? It is the best thing. Did I mention I’m not really a chocolate person? Oh!...and the thing that really elevates this tart to a thing of glory is the beautiful citrus glaze over the top. I’m telling you, this would WOW as your Easter dessert! Enjoy a little slice of heaven...

Here is the recipe:
