CRUST:
½ cup sugar
¾ cup softened butter
1½ cup flour
FILLING:
8 oz. softened cream cheese
½ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Fruit, your family’s favorite!
GLAZE (optional):
2 T. cornstarch
1 cup fruit juice
½ cup sugar
1 T. lemon juice
Mix crust together well and pat into a pizza pan or 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes, or until light brown. Cool.
Beat filling until smooth. Spread on cooled crust. Top with fruit.
If adding the optional glaze, cook ingredients on medium heat until glaze thickens. Spoon over fruit. Refrigerate.
CONNIE’S NOTES: Be creative! Use the fruit your family enjoys! Our favorite toppings are banana, strawberry, kiwi, apple and grapes. Make a pattern with the fruit or do it helter-skelter. Adding the glaze helps keep the fruit from browning, but does make it more messy to eat.
