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.
