Healthy Easter Dessert Recipe: Fruit Pizza
Say goodbye to root vegetables and hearty stews! Easter recipes are all about fresh and light. What better way to bring in the season of fresh produce than showcasing it for Easter Brunch? Try out one of our favorite summer desserts: Fruit Pizza!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1- 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
- 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
- 2 Tbsp Orange/Pineapple juice
- 1 cup Cool Whip
- Fresh fruit for topping
In a separate mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, juice, honey, and cool whip. Mix until well combined and spread on cooled cookie crust.
Top with fresh fruit. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Note: We use the term “healthy” a little liberally for this recipe. However, for a dessert recipe, you’ll find you at least get nutrients to go along with your sugar. To make this recipe lighter try using Neufchâtel cheese instead of cream cheese and fat free cool whip. You could also halve the topping recipe and top with more fruit.
