Strawberry Pizza Noreen & Marion

This looks best with brightly colored fruit. Our favorites are strawberries, peaches and kiwi.

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups strawberries, sliced

Using electric mixer, cream butter with 1 cup sugar. Add egg, milk and ¼ teaspoon vanilla. Sift flour with baking powder. Blend into butter mixture. Cover dough and refrigerate 25 minutes or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a 14-inch round pizza pan. Press dough evenly into pan. Bake until lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cool crust to room temperature in pan.

Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Spread over crust. Cover with strawberry slices, overlapping slightly. Cut into wedges and serve.
