Cooking with Your Kids – Fruit Pizza

Finding fun and yummy recipes for my children are what keeps them loving me and Fruit Pizza is no exception!  This recipe is delicious for any age but is especially fun if you want a little helping hand.  When my kiddos help me cook something up, they just can't wait to taste it!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 roll frozen sugar cookie dough (buy it or from scratch)
     
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
     
• 1 c. sugar
   
• 4 Tbsp. juice
   
• Fresh fruit of your choice (can be canned but drained) You could also use the juice from this for your 4Tbsp. of juice.

Soften and spread dough to fit 9×13 cake pan or pizza pan.  Combine cream cheese, sugar, and juice.  Spread over cooled cookie dough.  Sprinkle with fruit of your choice.  (Optional:  Add nuts, coconut, or marshmallows on the top)  Refrigerate and serve cold!
