Strawberry kiwi fruit pizza

Ingredients:

Cookie crust:

• 1 pkg. Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
• 1 large egg

Cream cheese fluff:

• 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff
• 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Toppings:

• 4 kiwis
• 2 pounds strawberries
• 32 chocolate chips

1. To make your own fruit pizza, you’ll first start by making two round cookie crusts. Use parchment paper lined springform pans to make removal of the baked cookies a snap. If you use regular cake pans, you definitely want to line the pan to make sure you’ll be able to remove the cookies from the pans.
2.  While the cookies are cooling, you can whip up some cream cheese fluff. Just beat the cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy, add the marshmallow fluff and whipped topping and beat until combined. Then try to keep from sticking your finger in the bowl and eating too much of it so you have plenty to spread over both cookie crusts.
3. Cut each cookie in half before decorating with fruit.
4. Arrange thin slices of kiwi all along the edge of each cookie crust, forming the rind of the watermelon.
5. Most strawberries have white centers and you really want to just use the red part, so carve the bright red portions off the strawberries, leaving the white interior behind. You can snack on the interior parts or save them for a smoothie. Finely chop the red part of the berries and sprinkle over top of the cream cheese fluff.
6. Place about 8 chocolate chips on each watermelon half and your fruit pizza is ready to serve.
7. You can keep this dessert in the refrigerator in the few hours before serving, but it will look best if served soon after topping with the strawberries.
