Fruit Pizza (Cheat Day)

Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cold butter

1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit of your choice: strawberries, mandarin orange slices, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries

Glaze

5 teaspoons cornstarch
1-1/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice

In a large bowl, combine flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over crust. Arrange your fruit of choice on top.

For glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, pineapple juice and lemon juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly. Drizzle over fruit. Refrigerate until chilled.
