Strawberry Dessert Pizza
Crust:
250g butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Topping:
1 package cream cheese
1/4 cup strawberry puree (about 4 fresh strawberries in a blender)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sugar
3 punnets fresh strawberries
Glaze (optional):
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon water
Crust:
Cream together butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy; add egg, baking powder, salt and vanilla until mixture is smooth; add flour and mix until a smooth dough is formed. Place finished dough in between two sheets of wax paper and refrigerate for about 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and roll the dough out to about a 1/4-inch thickness and in a round shape. Place the dough in a greased 12-inch pizza pan and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 25 minutes or until crust is a light brown. Cool completely.
Topping:
Combine cream cheese, puree, honey, and sugar until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled cookie crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border uncovered. Place whole strawberries around the outside border and use sliced berries to fill in the middle of the pizza.
Glaze (optional):
Combine honey and water and brush over the top of finished pizza.
