How To Make Strawberry Pizza
One useful tip that makes the process easier is to use a Kitchen Aid to mix up the crust, it will seem a bit crumbly so just use your hands and form it into a ball. It will come together nicely, or you can just use a whisk.
- Roll the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and place it on an ungreased cookie sheet. Sometimes I make it round, and sometimes I make it rectangular.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes at 325 degrees until lightly golden brown. Make sure to let it cool as well for a few
How To Make Cream Cheese Filling
While it is baking and cooling mix up your cream cheese mixture
- Cream together softened cream cheese and sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on the cooled cookie crust
How To Make Strawberry Glaze
- Smash strawberries. I use a food processor to mash the strawberries or you can do it by hand. I like to use the food processor because the sauce doesn’t end up as chunky.
- Combine smashed strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch.
- Cook the strawberry mixture until it thickens and becomes glossy. It will look cloudy at first but will become more glossy as it thickens. It will take about 5 minutes or so and then cool the mixture. Be sure and stir constantly so it doesn’t burn.
- Spread the cooled mixture over the cream cheese mixture.
- Slice the strawberries and place them on top the of the pizza.
- Cut the strawberry pizza using a pizza cutter.
