Not PC but it works!I know of a fruit pizza recipe that is printed on the Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough package, using the dough as the crust. It is not a PC recipe, but you can use all the PC tools to make it~ I think it includes strawberries, kiwi,and some other stuff. The stone bakes, use egg slicer for fruits, corer, etc...you get the picture!!

kjkjsj said:No, I haven't, but it sure sounds good! I think I'll recommend it to an upcoming host! Yum! Thanks for the recipe!
Does anyone have a recipe for a fruit pizza? I thought it would be a nice summer treatbut I don't have a recipe???
Ginger posted the recipes for a few cookie pizzas above, but I had to share with you that I've done the pizza cookie at a show and it was a HUGE hit
...it even brought the husbands in the room to check out what was smelling so good!! I highly reccommend it! I told the guests how much they can save making their own pizza cookie verses buying one at the mall for close to $20. You can customize your cookie any way you'd like too! That's where you can mention the easy accent decorator and the egg slicer plus for the strawberries, bananas and/or kiwi. You'll get alot of requests for it when you bring it to picnics and gatherings! ~Erica
