Recipe: Fruit Pizza

My family really enjoyed this recipe. It was a fun treat to give them - they were so excited about it. It's an enjoyable recipe too because there can be so many variations to it - all sorts of fruits can be used and different spreads / puddings can be tried as well.

I received this recipe from a friend of mine - but I did make some alterations to it (less sugar, used different "frosting", and used sprouted wheat) .

Thanks for having shared it Brandi!

Here's the recipe:

Fruit Pizza

Sugar Cookie Crust

(makes enough for 8 large slices)

1/2 to 3/4 cup coconut oil / butter

1/2 cup sucanat

2 eggs (hormone and cage free)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp almond extract

3 cups sprouted wheat flour

1/2 tsp salt

(Pre-heat oven to 350°)

1. Cream together: coconut oil/butter, sucanat, eggs, vanilla and almond extract.

2. Add flour and salt.

3. Roll out onto floured surface and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

4. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool before frosting.

Flax Seed Pudding

2 cups raw milk

6 Tbsps golden flax seeds

4 Tbsps honey / sucanat

1. Grind the flax seeds for 2 seconds.

2. Bring 2 cups of milk to a boil.

3. Add flax seeds to the milk.

After pudding has cooled:

6. Place the pudding mixture into mixer. Add the sweetener. Mix on low for 3 minutes.

7. Spread on cooled cookie crust.

Add your fruit toppings, slice and serve!

Does your milk mixture need thickening? Place it in a pot, add 3 Tbsps cornstarch or arrowroot and boil until thickened. Allow to cool before using.

Or you can use a Sucanat butter cream frosting ...

1. Cream together sucanat, butter and vanilla.
