Not your typical pizza. it's a sweet version of a pizza. It has the typical pizza base, "sauce" and toppings. The crust in this case is a sweet crust with a cream cheese topping and finished off with fresh fruits. Perfect for hot weather and enjoyed as a dessert pizza after your savory one.

Step 1: Crust Ingredients

8 tablespoons butter, softened

1 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 egg yolk

Step 2: For the "Sauce"

8 oz cream cheese (1 Packet)

3 tablespoons heavy cream

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 cup fruit or berries of choice for topping

Few mint sprigs for garnish

Step 3: The Crust Step 1

In a large bowl or in a mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, egg yolk, lemon zest and lemon zest.

Step 4: Crust Step 2

To the creamed mixture add in the flour. The mixture will look like pebbles.

Step 5: Crust Step 3

Using your hand bring the dough together and form a ball.

Step 6: Crust Step 4

Flatten the crust into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for 1 hour.

Step 7: Shape the Crust

Take the dough out of the freezer. Shape the crust into a 9 inch pie pan or tart pan. Use a fork to dock the crust.

Put the crust into the freezer for 30 minutes. In the meantime set the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 8: Bake It!

After 30 minutes take the crust from the freezer into the oven in the middle rack. Bake for 25 mins. Set on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 9: The Sauce

In a large bowl, using a whisk or even a paddle in your mixer, whisk all the sauce ingredients together.

Step 10: Cheese Sauce

The mixture should be light, fluffy and creamy. Set aside.

To build your dessert pizza, spread the cream cheese topping then use the fruit of choice on top. In this case I used blueberries, strawberries and kiwi.
