Pizza the healthy way!

Ingredients

1 sheet Refrigerated pie pastry
1 cup Water
1 pkg (0.8 oz) sugar-free cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix
1 pkg (0.3 oz) sugar-free lemon gelatin
1 pkg (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, cubed
2 tbsp Sugar (equivalent in sugar substitute)
1/2 cup Reduced-fat whipped topping
1 1/2 cups Quatered fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups Sliced halved peeled kiwifruit
1 can (8 oz) unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained

Preparation

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 12-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-inch pizza pan; prick with a fork. Bake at 450 for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

2. In a saucepan, combine the water and pudding mix until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Whisk in gelatin; cook and stir 1 minute longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool.

3. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar substitute until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture over crust to within 1/2 inch of edges. Spread gelatin mixture evenly over cream cheese mixture. Arrange fruit over top. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.

Cook's Notes

Let the kids arrange the fruit on top of the "pizza." This will get them invloved and encourage them to eat healthy!

We made these for an after school program. We used pie shells because we had to cook them at home and then transport them. We didn't want to have the children cook so we used 1 package of sugar free pudding and 1 package of sugar free lemon pudding with 2 cups of milk. It set up nicely and spread well. They looked great and tasted even better.
