I haven't been on my blog in awhile (I'll talk about what's been up in a later post), but as there was interest in this recipe when I posted a picture on facebook I figured I'd throw up the details for anyone who wants to try it out.
The crust can be any of the following baked as a circle on a pizza pan or as a rectangle on a cookie sheet: brownie mix, crescent rolls, or sugar cookie.
Bake and cool the crust of your choice. While it's cooling, mix together 8oz light cream cheese at room temperature, 1tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4-1/2 cup of confectioner's sugar (add more or less depending on how sweet you want the spread to be).
Top with any sliced fruits of your choice. Some suggestions are:
1. "Crowd pleaser" as above - strawberries, bananas, kiwis, raspberries
2. "Ice cream sundae" - Strawberries, bananas, crushed pineapple, walnuts, and melted chocolate swirl
3. "Celebrate the 4th" - bake as a rectangle and use blueberries, bananas, and strawberries to replicate the stripes and stars of the American flag
Also try blackberries, mandarin oranges, peach slices, and/or halved grapes for a different twist!
