A perfect baby shower recipe is an essential part of the entire ceremony. Fruit Pizza is a simple to make at home and is an absolute delight.

So, what you need to make this appetizer is:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoon cornstarch
2 cups all purpose flour
1 small pack of cream cheese
Seasonal fruits, such as pineapple, kiwi, strawberry, grapes, cherry, banana, apple, etc.

This recipe hardly takes 30 minutes to get cooked and baked, but it is recommended that you chill it in refrigerator at least for 2 to 3 hours before serving. So, you can make it early in the morning before the baby shower party starts.

Let’s proceed towards making the fruit pizza.
1. Wash the fruits, drain well and allow them to dry.
2. Combine sugar, cornstarch, half of salt, water, lemon juice and orange juice in a frying pan. Cook for a minute and set aside to cool.
3. Now make a sugar cookie pizza. Beat butter in a big bowl and add half of granulated sugar, salt and baking powder and beat well, so as to make a uniform mix.
4. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla & egg to above mix and beat well. Now add flour and mix all ingredients, so as to make uniform dough like paste.
5. Roll out about 1/8 inch thick layer on a well-greased pizza-pan.
6. Bake it at about 330 degrees for 7-8 minutes and take out to cool.
7. Meanwhile, combine rest of vanilla extract, softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Spread this mix over baked pizza.
8. Cut slice fruits in different shapes and make toppings on the pizza.
9. Spread orange sauce all over and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.

So…your fruit pizza appetizer is ready to be served to your baby shower ceremony guests. Serve, eat and enjoy the occasion!
