Fruit Pizza?

This morning my son told me he wanted pizza for supper tonight, and I told him probably not. I am trying to teach him to limit treats like that. I told him that when I make or buy veggie pizza he picks most of the vegtables off and he informed he wouldn't pick off fruit. Got me to thinking. I know I've seen "fruit pizza" before, I just don't remember how it was made. Has anyone done this? I was thinking I would suprise him with it for dessert.

    It would be a cookie dough crust with a layer of cream cheese / whipped cream. Fruit on top. And probably a drizzle of chocolate.

    I'm sure it would be fairly easy to convert it into a "healthy" version.

    You can use cookie dough or probably could make it homemade to control the ingredients and keep the calories down. Use fat free cream cheese (plain with some sort of favoring added or fat free strawberry or blueberry cream cheese). You might even be able to use yogurt as the sauce. I found one on cookinlean.com that is for kids. You use the pillsbury already cut sugar cookies, fat free plain cream cheese, almond extract in the cream cheese and whatever fruit you want. They come out to exactly 100 calories per pizza. Again, I'm sure if you make the dough homemade you can cut those calories significantly.

    1 whole grain toaster waffle
    1/2 cup low fat or fat free ricotta cheese
    1 tsp sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    Berries

    Optional - Caramel or Chocolate syrup

    Toast waffle. Mix Ricotta, sugar and vanilla. Spread on waffle and cover with berries. Drizzle syrup over top if wanted.

    I have also seen it done on a tortilla shell.... you could use a whole wheat one for better health.

    Use yogurt as the sauce, fruit or plain, top with fruit like berries and sprinkle with granola! For crust use a honey wheat pita pocket cut in half!

    I have to make this tonight for a bake sale tomorrow! Funny you posted this!!....not whipped cream tho.

    It's a sugar cookie dough pressed into a round pizza pan (sprayed with nonstick spray)
    Bake that at 350 for about 14 mins or until slightly golden.

    The "sauce" is an 8oz package of cream cheese softened, combined with a small jar of mashmallow fluff. (I don't use quite the full jar...it gets way sweet!) Depending on whom I am serving, I may also add about 1/2 tsp. Almond Extract to the cream cheese / fluff mixture.

    Spread that over cookie crust and then top with any fruits you wish. Blueberries, strawberries, kiwi are my kids favorites! :happy:

    I was also just gonna say a tortilla pizza is much healthier and you can use low fat mozzarella cheese.
