Strawberry Pizza











When you mix up the crust it will seem a bit crumbly but just use your hands and form it into a ball.  It will come together nicely.






Just roll it out with a rolling pin on an ungreased cookie sheet or a baking stone will work too.


Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
While it is baking and cooling mix up your cream cheese mixture and your strawberry mixture.  Use 1 cup of smashed strawberries.  I do mine in the food processor.
Cook the strawberries with sugar and cornstarch until it thickens and is glossy – will take about 5-10 minutes.  Cool.
After the crust is cool spread with cream cheese mixture you mixed up.










Add strawberry mixture and sliced strawberries.








The crust ends up being a bit fragile so it can be a bit messy to eat.  I just use my pizza cutter to slice it up.

  • 1 C flour
  • 1/4 C powdered sugar
