Patriotic Fruit Pizza

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup cold butter (no substitutes)
1 package (4 3/4 ounces) strawberry Danish dessert*

For the Filling:

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in butter until mixture begins to hold together. Press into a 12-in. tart or pizza pan; build up edges slightly. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes.

Cook Danish dessert according to package directions for pie glaze; cool to room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Spread over crust. Arrange strawberries in an 8- to 10-in. circle in center of pizza. Sprinkle blueberries around strawberries. Pour half of the Danish dessert over strawberries (save remaining glaze for another use). Refrigerate until serving. Cut into wedges.

*Please Note: Look for strawberry Danish dessert in the gelatin aisle of your grocery store.
