With Fruit Fresh -- to prevent browning Fruit Fresh Preheat oven to 350º . Spray large cookie sheet with Pam . ( I invert cookie shee-tput on bottom of sheet- because mine has 1" sides and they get in the way ) Pat out cookie dough right on baking sheet (remember to spray with Pam first) .Bake 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown . Remove from oven and cool. After 5 -10 minutes, gently loosen cookie from cookie sheet (make sure nt oto "tear" cookie dough, if too soft, wait a few minutes and try again) with serrated bread knife (leave on cookie sheet). VERY IMPORTANT OR COOKIE WILL STICK TO COOKIE SHEET. DON'T FRO- GET! Whip cream cheese and sugar together and spread on COOLED cookie crus t .Arrange fruit on top in order listed . Keep refrigerated until use. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : Excellent!! If you make it too far ahead of time the cookie crust will get soft, though it is great with a crunchy or soft crus t! Don't put the banana slices on until you are ready to serve or if that's impossible because of your schedule, make it one of the last things you dboe fore you get yourself ready to party !Either way, sprinkle with Fruit Fresh to keep the bananas from turning brow nIt. realyl works and DOES NOT change the taste in any way .I sprinkle it on after I put a row or two of them on the pizza, don't wait until you have covered the pizza or they may start to brown. (Lemon juice makes the bananas too soggy) Be sure that the Mandairn oranges and the crushed pineapple are drained "dry" (can press i n colander to remove excess juice and then pat dry with papr etowels to make sure) . Instead of making 1 "pizza", you can slice the cookie dough like you would if you were making cko-o ies. Bake according to the directions on the package . That way you have tiny Dessert "Pizzas"; one or two for each guest, or for your lunches . It's hard to gauge the amount of fresh fruit because it depends on how much you like to u sI ew.ould prefer to have extra than come up shor t .You can also add any fresh fruit you like (like blueberries, but cantaloupes, melons and watremelon are really too "wet") I find that this fruit combination is really the best.
