The dark days of winter will soon be over and we are eagerly anticipating spring with warm days and green grass! During the long winter it is great to take time to get together with family and friends. When it's cold outside visiting, playing games or celebrating important milestones helps the winter months pass a little more quickly. This week we are celebrating Four Weeks Till Spring Day! This important day calls for a special dessert! Fruit pizza is perfect, it's like sunshine on a plate!
It starts off with a crust that is basically a big almond sugar cookie!
Followed by a layer of cream cheese and whipped cream, lightly sweetened with honey.
Top that with your choice of sliced fruit. We like strawberries, bananas, peaches, mandarin oranges, grapes, or kiwi.
Finally, and very important! A citrus fruit glaze that keeps your fruit fresh and tastes amazing!
A beautiful and delicious dessert!
