I feel very excited to post this recipe, as this was one of the fancy ideas that struck my brain last night. After an early dinner last night, we started watching a movie, I saw my husband sitting uncomfortable on the recliner, I even saw him going to the kitchen and opening the refrigerator for couple of times. When I asked about what made him uncomfortable, he humbly answered that he wanted something to sweeten up his mouth. I felt so sweet of him and wanted to make something sweet for him immediately. We paused the movie and I went into the kitchen. I checked my pantry for any instant dessert mixes as I used to stack up instant pudding mix, yoplait etc. But this time I couldn’t find anything. Only thing I had was frozen Pillsbury pizza dough. Also my refrigerator was stacked up with all kind of fruits from my last shopping. Suddenly an idea struck my brain, since I had pizza dough and fruits, I have to whip up some dessert out of this. Luckily, I also had a can of Betty crocker vanilla frosting which I had bought for decorating a cake, but hadn’t used yet. My brain started to work sharply and I thought if I spread the frosting on the pizza dough and top it with fruits, I would have a fruit pizza and that would make a quick and fancy dessert. Not a bad idea after all huh? Couldn’t wait for any second thoughts, thawed the pizza dough and first I baked the pizza crust for 15 minutes, according to the instruction on it. Then I allowed the pizza crust to cool down and spread it with the frosting and topped with Kiwi, watermelon, apples and grapes.

I placed it on the dining table and called my husband for the fruit pizza feast. He was little doubtful about this idea of mine, I then sliced the pizza with his favorite fruits on it. As soon as he took a bite of it, I saw his eyes widen and with the pizza in his mouth he said wow it tastes so good. I was relieved and I took a bite of it too, I couldn’t believe myself it tasted really delicious. Since I used thin crusted pizza, it was really crispy and the frosting melted into the pizza crust and gave it a real creamy taste. Along with the fruits it tasted like a million dollar dessert.

Ingredients:

  • Frozen Pillsbury Pizza dough-1 (I used thin crust)
  • Betty crocker vanilla frosting- for spreading on the pizza, depending upon your needs
  • Fruits- kiwi, apples, grapes, watermelon, or your choice fruits

Preparation:

  • If using frozen pizza dough, thaw it first
  • Bake the pizza crust as per the instruction on the box, I baked for 15minutes in 400F.
  • Take out of the oven and let cool for sometime.
  • Spread the frosting on the pizza crust.
  • Top it with fruits, in a pattern.
  • Place it on the table without slicing, so that everyone can slice the pizza with their choice of fruit.

PS: This morning my husband was searching the refrigerator for any leftovers, I think he forgot how many slices he himself  had last night.

Tips:

  • You can use any kind of frosting with your favorite flavor.
  • You could even substitute whipping cream for the frosting.
  • Use your favorite fruits as the topping.
