The one thing I do differently with my fruit pizza is use crescent dough instead of the sugar cookie dough that all the other recipes call for. I think the cookie dough is just too sweet. The sweetness of the cream cheese in this recipe is plenty in my opinion, so I prefer the crescent dough. I have also used pizza dough which works fine as well.
Unroll your crescent dough onto a baking sheet. They do make seamless dough which is better, but you are going to cut the pizza anyway so it doesn't matter if you can't find it. I used the regular crescent dough this time and just mushed the seams together. It doesn't have to be pretty, as evidenced by mine. I couldn't get it to stretch very nicely because I had just brought this home from the grocery store and it had started to warm up. This is best just out of the fridge.
Cook at 350 for about 10 minutes until light brown. Let cool. While your dough is cooking and cooling, let 1 package of cream cheese warm to room temperature. Mix cream cheese with 1 tsp vanilla and powdered sugar to your liking. I prefer powdered sugar to granular, as sometimes the granular doesn't dissolve very well and you get gritty cream cheese.
When the dough is cool, spread on your cream cheese mixture. After, this would be a good time to cut your pizza. You don't have to, but it is easier to cut before putting on your fruit.
Now just put on fruits of your liking! I used slices of kiwi, strawberry and blueberries. FYI: Strawberries are now in season! Great time to get your fruit FRESH!
