SUMMER FUN with FRESH FRUIT

PIZZA 8

W

hen it comes to summer desserts, if you want to really razzle dazzle guests at your next party, think pizza − fruit pizza, that is.

Kids and adults alike are wowed by this special dessert. And it couldn't be simpler to make.

Using a sugar cookie base, spread with a cream cheese-sour cream topping, arrange colourful red and black grapes, along with kiwi slices, in a pretty pattern. To serve, slice it just as you would a regular pizza. If you want to add extra fun to your party, make several small personal-size pizzas and let kids get creative with their own designs using the grapes and kiwi. Don't be surprised if adults decide to jump in and decorate their own pizzas, too. After all, who wants to miss out on summer fun? >>>
