Hey guys!
I wanted to share this Strawberry Pizza recipe with you because it is something I make fairly often. It is a "pizza" because it has layers and a strawberry topping. I got this recipe several years ago from the wife of one of my husband's co-workers. It is really one of my favorite desserts, especially during summer. I LOVE the buttery Pecan Sandie® crust, and the top strawberry jello/vanilla pudding mixture is DELICIOUS. This would make a GREAT treat to make to celebrate the Fourth of July this coming week! You could even throw some blueberries on top to get your festive red, white, and blue!
Strawberry Pizza
Total Time: around 30 minutes
Ingredients:
Fresh Strawberries
Crust:
1 package of Pecan Sandies®
1 stick of melted butter
Middle Layer:
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
8 oz. package of cream cheese
1 tub of a whipped topping
Top Layer:
1 small box of instant vanilla pudding mix
1 small box of strawberry Jello
1/2 cup of sugar
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon of margarine
Directions:
I like to prepare the top layer first, then crust, and the middle layer last. I prepare the middle layer while top and crust are cooling. Let the top layer and crust cool almost completely before combining all layers to make the "pizza".
Crust:
1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.) Crush package of Pecan Sandies®. I like to break them up with my fingers then use a potato masher to get small crumbs.
3.) Melt stick of butter.
4.) Mix Sandies® and stick of butter. Press mixture into 9 X 13 glass dish to create crust.
5.) Bake in oven 15-20 minutes.
6.) Let cool.
Middle Layer:
1.) Combine softened cream cheese, softened whipped topping, and powdered sugar with mixer until smooth.
Top Layer:
1.) Combine water, vanilla pudding mix, jello, and sugar in medium saucepan on stove top. Whisk while bringing mixture to a boil.
2.) Once boiling, whisk in tablespoon of margarine.
3.) Remove mixture from heat and let cool.
Creating Pizza:
1.) Make sure crust and top layer have cooled.
2.) Add middle layer to crust.
3.) Add top layer.
4.) Cool in refrigerator until jello mixture has set.
5.) Top with fresh strawberries.
Enjoy!
