Directions
1Preheat the oven to
350°F.
2For the cookie crust: In
a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, orange zest, and vanilla thoroughly. Add
the eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Add the milk and mix.
3In a medium bowl, sift
together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then blend this into the butter
mixture. Divide the dough into 2 disks and lightly flatten each disk between 2
sheets of parchment paper. (If baking 1 large "pizza" on a sheet pan,
do not divide the dough.) Refrigerate for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes.
4Roll each dough half
into a 11-inch round, then transfer to pizza pans. (Or, press the dough into a
large sheet cake pan.)
5Bake for until the
cookie dough is cooked and golden brown, but not overly crisp, 15 to 18
minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
6For the frosting: In a
mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip together the marshmallow creme and
cream cheese until light in texture. Spread onto each cooled crust.
7To decorate: Top the
pizza with prepared sliced fruit, as desired. Slice into squares or wedges and
serve.
