Orange-Glazed Fruit Pizza

Thanks, Camille, for a great pizza lunch bunch!

CRUST:
1/2 c. butter
1 cup sugar, divided
1 egg
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 c. chocolate chips (optional)

In mixing bowl, cream butter, 3/4 c sugar and egg. After mixing well add flour, salt and baking powder. Mix and stir in chocolate chips. Press into ungreased 12" pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees or until lightly browned. Cool completely.

FILLING:
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
1 c whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until stiff; set aside. Beat cream cheese until fluffy; fold in whipped cream mixture. Spread over cooled crust.

TOPPING:
Whatever you want! I used strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and blackberries. You can do bananas, mandarin oranges, raspberries.... Spread over crust.

ORANGE GLAZE:
1/2 c orange juice
1/2 c sugar
2 tbsp quick-cooking Tapioca
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 c water
2 tbsp lemon juice

For glaze, in small saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients; bring to boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool; drizzle over fruit. Chill for one hour before serving.
