Quick and Easy Fruit Pizza
I love to make fruit pizza during this time of year when the weather can get a little dreary. The bright colors of the fresh fruit seem to brighten menus as well as spirits. Fruit pizza seems to say, “Spring is on it’s way!”I love to make fruit pizza during this time of year when the weather can get a little dreary.

Recently, I simplified my fruit pizza recipe. First, it dawned on me that I could try a pouch of grocery store sugar cookie dough for the crust. Nobody could tell the difference, including me! Win!
Secondly, I did a little online research and found that the the fluffly white topping could be simplified into two ingredients: marshmallow cream and cream cheese- the perfect combo!!
And thirdly, instead of carefully arranging the fruit in a pattern, I now just rustically place it all over the pizza. Or I wrangle a kid into doing this job. My three year old helped me this time, and loved it! Easy as (pizza) pie.
