Please the eye and the palate with this dessert "pizza," made of cookie-dough crust and colorful fruit toppings.

8/20/11: We made this with all fresh fruit, and doubled the recipe. When we spread the cookie dough we put a small edging all around to hold in the cream cheese mixture.  We cut the bananas last and squeezed ½ lemon on and stirred them to keep them from turning brown.  We layered the banana slices on top of the cream cheese layer, then cantaloupe bites on top of that, then 2 peaches, 1 mango, 2 kiwi’s sliced to half-moon shapes, 8 oz strawberries bite size, ½ small container blueberries.  We did not use the jelly.   It was delicious that day and the next day!  Connie.

1package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/3cup sugar

1/2teaspoon vanilla

1cup fresh or canned peach slices, drained, cut into thinner slices
