Strawberry Pizza, part 2

ok, here's the picture, and now for the recipe:
Crust:
1/2 C butter 1/2 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla 1 C brown sugar
3/4 C flour 1-1/2 C oatmeal
1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients until well blended. Pat firmly onto pizza pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (do not over bake).

Topping:
8 oz Cream cheese 3 TBSP sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix well, until all ingredients are completely blended. Spread evenly onto cooled crust. Slice strawberries and arrange on pizza. Drizzle strawberry glaze over top. Enjoy!

(Just a note: the original recipe also included kiwis, but since we don't like them, I left them out, but it makes a very pretty pizza with them on there!).

Strawberry Pizza!

Ok, I know there are a lot of Strawberry Pizza recipes out there, but this one is really the best! I got the recipe several years ago from my friend Wendy (thanks Wendy!), and I LOVE it!!! I am not really a 'fruit' dessert person...give me the choice of fruit or chocolate, and chocolate is the winner, every time. But, once in a while I like to pretend that I'm making a healthier choice for dessert, and make this one. It's so good! Not as easy as the one with the (premade) sugar cookie crust, but it's so worth the extra effort! I hope you try it and love it as much as me! ( I'll warn you, though...it's very sweet! ). Please let me know if you make it (and hopefully, love it).
