Experiment #5: Desert Pizza

I swear this really isn't as bad for you as it sounds... just one serving of the sugar cookie crust is around 80 calories if I remember correctly and everything else is fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream. So it can't be too bad, right?

Sugar cookie crust:

2 ¾ c flour
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1 ½ c sugar
1 c butter (2 sticks, softened)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375

Beat sugar and butter together until creamy. Add in egg and vanilla. Slowly combine flour bkg soda and powder with the sugar and butter mixture until mixture looks like large crumbs. Press or roll dough into pizza pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool and set aside


Whipped cream:

2 c heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract


Whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Then add the sugar and extracts and continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form when you pull the whisk out.


Once the crust is cooled add the whipped cream, and your choice of fruits or chocolate or whatever :) and enjoy
