Healthy Fruit Pizza

As I continue on my journey making healthier choices and loosing weight, I found this good fruit pizza recipe.  I've tried fruit pizza before and it was really good but it was always made with processed sugar cookie dough for the crust.  I found this on a website and tried it.  I loved it.  If you didn't know it was meant to be healthy you'd just think it was a different version of the same recipe.  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.  I've been told it doesn't store well in the refrigerator, so we shared it with friends.  It's great to try to make this recipe in the summer when the fruit is in season and the prices are more reasonable.

Healthy Fruit Pizza

1 3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/8 t. salt
1/4 c. melted butter
1 t. vanilla
1/3 c. honey (for crust)
1/4 cup honey (for spread)
1 egg yolk
1/4 c. skim milk
8 oz. cream cheese
one medium banana
1 pint strawberries
1 large kiwi

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a large bowl combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  In a small bowl melt butter and add 1/3 c. honey, vanilla and blend together.  Add it to the flour mixture until crumbly.  Mix egg yolk and milk together and add to crumbly mixture to form a ball. 

Press dough out onto a 12" pizza pan sprayed with non-stick spray.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.  Cool completely. 

In a separate bowl mix 1/4 c. honey and cream cheese together.  Spread on crust leaving about 1/4 inch from edge after it has cooled. 

Slice fruit and layer in a colorful design.  Cut it into slices like a pizza.  You can top with chocolate syrup or honey or just serve as is and enjoy.
