Tutti Fruitti Dessert Recipe (I found this receipe on MrFood.com)
  • 1 (16.5-ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough, cut into 1/2-inch slices 
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 
  • 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, divided 
  • 3 tablespoons refrigerated hazelnut coffee creamer, divided 
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh sliced peaches 
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh sliced strawberries 
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh blackberries 
  • 1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries 
  • 2 tangerines, peeled and separated into segments 
  • 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
What To Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray.
  2. Place cookie slices on pan and press together with lightly floured fingers, forming 1 large cookie. 
  3. Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until top is light golden; let cool.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and 2 tablespoons hazelnut creamer until fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled cookie dough and top with assorted fruit.
  5. In a small bowl, mix remaining confectioners' sugar and remaining hazelnut creamer. Drizzle over fruit, slice, and serve.
