Fruit Pizza

I think The Pioneer Woman may be my new hero. She's saucy, fun, and completely herself. Her posts crack me up and her food makes me drool. Check this out for a new take on a tasty dessert.

Ingredients

• 1-1/3 cup Shortening (may Substitute Butter)
• 1-1/2 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Orange Zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 2 whole Eggs
• 8 teaspoons Whole Milk
• 4 cups All-purpose Flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 2 jars (13 Ounces Each) Marshmallow Creme
• 2 packages (8 Ounces Each) Cream Cheese
• Peaches
• Kiwi Fruit
• Blueberries
• Pears
• Raspberries
• Other Fruit Optional

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl, cream shortening (or butter), sugar, orange peel and vanilla thoroughly. Add in eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add in the milk and mix.



In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt), then blend this into the cream mixture. I even had my little helper with me on this part. She's turnin' out just like her mama, look at that concentration! Haha.

If you're like me and have to "taste test" everything... don't worry if your dough doesn't seem too sweet. You'll get there.

Slightly flatten between two sheets of waxed paper, then refrigerate for one hour (or freeze for 20 minutes).

Press dough into a sheet cake pan OR divide the dough in half and roll each half into a large round, then transfer to pizza pans.
.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until cookie dough is cooked and golden brown, but not overly crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Ok - I warned you.

Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, whip together Marshmallow Creme and cream cheese until light.
