Directions:For the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10 to 12-inch tart pan or pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a mixer, cream margarine and sugars until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Slowly add the flour mixture into the creamed margarine and mix until blended. Remove the dough from the bowl and press into the prepared pan. (You may need to dust your hands with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking to them. It is wet dough when it comes together.) Bake until the edges just start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
For the frosting: In a mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and a pinch of salt until smooth. Spread evenly on the cooled crust.
To assemble: Arrange the fresh fruit in the desired pattern on top of the pizza. |
