Fruit Pizza Recipe
Ingredients for Crust:
1 ½ cup of All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
½ tsp. Salt
2 tbsp. of Sugar
2 tbsp. of Whole Milk
½ cup of Cooking Oil
Ingredients for Filling:
8 ounces of Cream Cheese
¼ cup of Sugar
½ tbsp. of Orange Rind
½ tbsp. of Lemon Rind
1 pint of Whipping Cream
1 tbsp. of Whole Milk
Ingredients for Fruit:
Strawberries
Bananas
Kiwis
Peaches
Nectarines
Blueberries
Raspberries
Canteloupe
Or any fruit combinations of your choice.
Ingredients for Glaze:
2 tbsp. of Corn Starch
½ cup of Sugar
½ cup of Orange Juice
¼ cup of Lemon Juice (Nimbu Arakh)
¼ cup of Water
Directions for Crust:
Mix all ingredients by hand or with a pastry blender. Spread evenly onto an ungreased pan. Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees until it turns deep golden brown. This crust must be completely cooled before filling.
Directions for Filling:
Whip cream cheese in a food processor until it is fluffy and has no lumps. Add the rest of the ingredients to the cream cheese except for the whipped cream and process until it is well blended. Then add the whipped cream and whip until it turns thick. Spread the mixture evenly on the cooled crust.
Directions for Fruit:
You may slice fruit and lay it on top of the filling decoratively, or chop it and sprinkle on top for that "pizza supreme" look.
Directions for Glaze:
Bring to a boil, by stirring constantly. Once it comes to a boil, stir for 1 minute or until the mixture looks clear. Remove from heat and spoon evenly over the fruit.
Note: This recipe is for a 12-inch tart pan or pizza pan. For a 14-inch pan, use 1 to ½ times the crust and the filling recipes, but use the single glaze recipe.
For a 16-inch pan, double the recipes for crust and filling, but use 1 to ½ times the glaze.
