Grandma's Fruit Pizza

Before I talk about this AMAZING dessert I should tell you that the pictures don't do it justice. Don't let the pictures talk you out of making this.

I grew up with this fruit pizza. This was the number one requested dessert that my grandma made. (Well, this and her kolocky's!) There are four elements and it does take some time to prepare, but it is well worth it. The crust is flour, sugar, and butter (nuts, optional). Seriously, it doesn't get better than sugar and butter! I could just eat the crust all day! The crust is then topped with a cream cheese and cool whip mixture and a variety of fresh fruit. Top off the entire dessert with the glaze and you are on your way to a sugar-induced coma.

You can thank me later. :)
