The Fruit Pizza I have made in the past is very similar to the Kraft recipe; I used Strawberry Cream Cheese and other fruits that my family liked better. If you use bananas, be sure to put them on right before serving so they don't brown. (I also didn't use the apricot preserves)

Fruit Pizza
Glaze
2/3 cups Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 cup Orange Juice
Mix together the sugar and cornstarch in a pan. Stir in orange juice and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cool while you prepare the pizza.
Pizza
1 roll ready-made Refrigerator Sugar Cookies
2 (8 ounce) packages Cream Cheese
1/3 cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Vanilla
Various fruits (grapes, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, blackberries, etc.)
Slice the sugar cookies ¼ inch wide. Place on a 12-inch cake pan, sides touching. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until slightly browned. See package directions. Remove cookies onto a serving plate while still warm.
Soften cream cheese. (You can soften the covered cream cheese by defrosting in the microwave for two minutes.) Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly.
Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture on the cooled cookies.
Arrange the fruit on top of the cream cheese in an eye-appealing design. Brush fruit completely with cooled glaze.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

grease jelly roll pan, pat dough out to fill bottom sprinkle with a little sugar & bake at 350 til light brown. Cool. Mix cream cheese & 1 c sugar & vanilla. spread on baked dough. arrange any combination of fruits on top(drain juices off before!) In small saucepan mix lemon juice, orange juice, cornstarch,sugar,water & salt. cook & boil 1 minute until thickened slightly. cool. spread over fruit. refrigerate. cut in squares serves 15 - 20. I have used this recipe for years & always turns out good. can easily make the day ahead.

My family's favorite uses a corn oil pie crust recipe...it's not as sweet as the cookie crust but is still thin and crispy. I add a cream cheese filling and top it with the fruit and then a lemon/orange glaze. PM if you'd like the exact recipe.

Years ago I sold Pampered Chef and one of the tricks I told about was to cut the fruit pizza after the cream cheese layer and before putting on the fruit. This keeps the fruit from being "pushed" when you try to cut it. Keeps it pretty
