Best Fruit Pizza Ever!

When we ran our troubled teen home and had to cook for them 24/7, I was given this recipe by an employee and it became our favorite, I have not tasted a better fruit pizza yet!

1 1/2 Cubes Margarine or Butter (12 oz or 3/4 cup), softened
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (8 oz) Cream Cheese
1 (12 oz) Cool Whip
2 Cups Powdered sugar

Mix together margarine, flour and 3/4 cup powdered sugar.  I used a hand mixer to mix until crumbly and then I just use my hands to finish mixing the dough all together until smooth.  Press it into the pan, it looks like there will not be enough dough, but there is , you just have to gently press it around the pan.  Bake for 6 minutes at 400 degrees if making small pizza batch and one batch (bake for 11 min if doubling it and using jelly roll pan)
  Mix together the Filling of 8 oz cream cheese softened, cool whip and 2 cups powdered sugar, mix together and spread on cooled crust (if you put it on while crust is still warm, it melts all over and is not as good)  Add any fruits you like on top of cream cheese layer, for example, strawberries, bananas, mandarin oranges, blueberries, kiwi, etc.

When I make this, I double the recipe and put it in my large jelly roll pan. So double the recipe and when you cook it at 400 , set your timer for 10 to 11 min, and then check from there until done (it will be a little golden on top).  The crust is what make this so yummy!

For the nourishing of our souls: so of course my mind goes to the scripture of fruits, found in  Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 14:starting in 16 it says : Ye shall know them by their fruits. . . and in 17 even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit, A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit and in verse 20" Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them"
So of course, do we talk the talk or do we walk the walk? our fruits will show what we do.  We cannot be a Sunday Saint and only live our religion one day a week, but we need to live it every day, and that is what make us who we are.  The person we choose to be hour by hour.  May we choose to use each day to nourish our testimonies, to live our morals, to do good to all those around us!
have a wonderful day!
