Strawberry Pizza

I have made fruit pizzas before, but this was fabulous! I think the glaze would be good for a strawberry pie as well. Store bought glazes don't hold a candle to this! Easy and delicious!
STRAWBERRY PIZZA
Crust
1/2 cup soft butter
1 cup flour
1/4 cup icing sugar
Mix and press in medium size pizza pan (I used a 12 inch pan). Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before assembling.
Filling
8 oz. soft cream cheese
1/3 cup icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
11/2 t. lemon juice
Mix until smooth Spread on crust. You can add 1 cup of whipped cream folded into this if you like. They suggested Cool Whip, but I am not a big fan of it at all. I did not add it and it was still yummy!
Layer about 3 cups of strawberries cut in half.
Glaze
1/2 cup sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1 cup water
Cook and stir till thick. Add 2 T. strawberry jello. Cool in freezer for a short time...stir once in awhile.
Pour over berries.
Chill and serve with whipped cream.
YUM! YUM! YUM!
