Instructions
Sugar Cookie Crust Instructions
In a standup mixing bowl, beat the coconut oil until creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Then add in the sugar and mix well.
Now add in the egg and incorporate. Place the vanilla extract and sour cream into the mixer and combine.
Next add in the sweet white rice flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the mixer. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Once the cookie dough is well combined, place plastic wrap over the bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 425° F. Using nonstick spray lightly coat the pizza pan. Transfer the dough onto the pan. The dough will be very sticky. Place parchment paper or Press'n Seal Wrap over the pan and press the dough evenly into all parts of the pan.
Bake for 7-9 minutes until the top is lightly golden. We suggest setting a timer for this step. The dough will become rock hard if left in the oven too long. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow the sugar cookie crust to cool completely before frosting.
Cream Cheese Spread
Using a hand mixer blend the dairy free butter and cream cheese together until smooth.
Then add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and optional fresh lemon juice. Cream for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Allow the spread to thicken for 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Next evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the sugar cookie. Then cover and refrigerate the frosted cookie until ready to decorate with fruit and serve.
Fruit Fruit Tips
Wash and dry fruit before slicing and decorating the Fruit Pizza. When using canned mandarin oranges, drain and dry well to remove any excess moisture.
Arrange fruit in any pattern you like. We find it's easiest to start from the outside edge and work in.
Optional Fruit Glaze
To give your fruit extra shine, stir together the honey and apricot jelly, and lightly brush over Fruit Pizza.Then serve this like slices of pizza or cut into smaller squares.
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers up to 1-2 days. This dessert is best the day of.
