looking for a fruit pizza recipie. Not wanting to use one with sugar
I have had two great recipies, but can't find them at the moment.
I have been googling a lot, but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

1. If you can find one w/o sugar I will be very interested
In the mean time here is mine
1 tube sugar cookie dough
prepare according to package directions, reducing space between cookies to 1/4 of recommended. may require up to 4 minutes extended baking time, check color at 1 minute intervals if using extended baking.
8oz cream cheese
3oz sour cream
2tsp vanilla
2-3 round tablespoons brown sugar
blend until smooth, adjust flavor to taste. refrigerate overnight.
3 white flesh nectarines
2 ripe bananas
2 ripe plums
1/4 cup sweet blueberries or raspberries
slice nectarines and plums into 12 wedges pole to pole
slice bananas just barely thicker than fruit
spread topping on cookie
outer ring of nectarine, next banana, next plum, fill with blueberries
optional, melt 1/3 cup apple jelly in microwave, stir till just beginning to thicken, brush over fruit.
one may substitute strawberries for the plums.

3. OK, no one else has said anything and I've been thinking
Please don't use pudding. Pastry cream is just a stirred custard. Or go with a cream cheese base.
Puff pastry is one option, have you thought about croissant dough? Laid out flat, points in the middle like a pinwheel? Voortman makes a darn good SF shortbread swirl cookie that can be made into individual pizzas.
You'll need stronger flavors from your fruit. Can you get away with stronger textures? Drop the bananas, go with normal nectarines, contemplate mango. (Cube it so it isn't stringy)
Apple jelly is still a fine sealant, but I wouldn't decline pineapple. Yes, you can find NSA apple jelly.
P.S. Would a supreme of citrus be inappropriate?

4. Here is my recipe
Start with crescent dough. For a standard pizza pan, one roll. If you use a large or oversized pan, two rolls. Lightly grease the pan with the item of your choice (spray or hand grease)
Spread out the dough on the pan. Bake it in the oven following whatever instructions the crescent roll can states (usually 375 for 10-12 I think) Allow to cool completely.
Using either one or two blocks of cream cheese (depending on your pizza size), ,,,I use fat free cream cheese....allow the cheese to soften. Using an alternative sweetener (light agave, stevia, or, if you have to, Splenda) sweeten the cream cheese to your taste. Add a teaspoon of vanilla. Spread evenly over cooled crust.
Spread raspberries and blueberries over the crust. You can add blackberries, but I like just raspberries and blueberries. 2 pints of raspberries to one of blueberries, however, any you need. An oversized pan can need 3 pints of raspberries and a few extra blueberries, but never more than a single layer. I have substituted strawberries and mixed them in too.
In a pan, use one box of mixed fruit sugar free jello (the regular size) and the same size cook and serve sugar free vanilla pudding. Mixed fruit is getting harder to find, and I have used raspberry to success. Dump in a pan, add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water. Cook slowly until simmer and it turns a thicker, rich color. remove from heat and allow to cool. Drizzle over the berries on top of the crust. At this point you can add things like nuts or coconut, etc, but I like it just like this.
Put in a fridge to cool. I cut int squares when ready. This is always requested, and when I serve it to people I do not know, they always request the recipe.

Technically, any pizza with tomato sauce is a fruit pizza, but that is neither here nor there.
I've never been fond of putting fruit on a savory pizza, but Donato's has a cherry pizza that is one of the best desserts I've ever had from a chain restaurant. Don't know if they still have it; Donato's moved out around here a few years ago.

yuck

Wtf is that glop and how in Gods name does anyone call it pizza?

I guess because it's made on a flat pan. If it was in a dish shaped pan it'd be a pie wouldn't it?

Valentino's, which makes the best pizza in the world, has fruit pizzas.
But they're available only at their buffets; one can't order one.
They're okay, but they're nothing to get all agog and excited about. Fruit pastry shaped like pizza slices.
The Valentino's real pizzas, on the other hand.....

In other words.....pie.
I like pie. :-)

Pamela should hit the Chick fil A, for inspiration.

Valentino's is one of the things I miss about Lincoln. I used to love the original on Holdrege St across from East Campus.

Fruit pizza is delicious if you like fruit. Don't let the name keep you from at least trying it.
GB needs some Gnads lessons in googling if she can't find a fruit pizza recipe online. There are tons and tons available. If she doesn't want to use sugar all she has to do is not add it and make her own sugar-free cookie base. She really is as stupid as I've always thought her to be.

You can keep it.

Have you ever noticed the "cookie pizzas" in the bakery of the grocery store, or the cookie store in the mall?
A fruit pizza is usually a cookie or pastry crust, has a cream cheese mixture (think cheesecake flavor) in a thin layer, covered with sliced fresh fruit, then covered with some type of thin glaze to keep the fruit from getting nasty.
Fruit combinations often include sliced strawberries, blueberries, sliced kiwi, pineapple or peaches.
It may be easier for you to think of it as a thin fruit tart the size of a medium to large pizza because it's made on a pizza pan, which is why it's called a fruit pizza.
They are actually pretty good, depending on the fruit combination and if the glaze isn't too sweet. An apple jelly works fairly well. It's melted in a saucepan to liquify, then brushed over the fruit to keep it from discoloring or drying out.

Just found these. Doing a baby shower, late September, and these look good!! Same site, suggested thin slices of Granny Smith apples, with crushed honey roasted peanuts and caramel sauce on them. :drool:

My personal preference is a nice tall warm glass of mayonaise.
Oh, and Pam, start with making chicken enchiladas that don't look and taste like a hammered bag of ass first.

I'm feeling queasy from all of your responses. :rofl:

Didn't they have a diesel conversion version of that ? If they didn't, they should.
