Popular with kids and adults, this dessert pizza is incredibly easy to make. Top with your favorite summer fruit. Recipe adapted from Bon Appetit.
1 18-ounce roll Pillsbury refrigerated sugar-cookie dough or Toll House chocolate chip cookie dough
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
3-4 cups sliced fruit (such as hulled strawberries, peeled kiwis, peeled bananas, peeled cored pineapple), plus whole raspberries
Purchased caramel sauce, warmed (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 12-inch diameter pizza pan. Cut cookie-dough roll crosswise into 1/3 -inch-thick slices; arrange on prepared pan. Using wet fingertips, press dough evenly into pan to form pizza crust. Bake crust until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack. Using edge of metal spatula, press in crust edges to form an even round. Cool completely.
Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until smooth. Beat in marshmallow creme. Spread filling evenly over crust, leaving 1/2 -inch plain border. (Crust with filling can be made 45 minutes ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Top with fruit and drizzle with warm caramel sauce if desired and serve. Makes 8 servings.
