“This is a kind of fun recipe for kids in the summer. There is something whimsical about a dessert pizza.
This recipe was originally from my middle school culinary arts class. I revisited the recipe for the first time in 2020 and made some revisions. Most importantly, instead of using store-bought strawberry glaze which is full of red food dye and lot of artificial ingredients, I used the glaze from my Strawberry GlacĂ© Pie recipe. Additionally I’d recommend using real cream instead of Dream Whip. And instead of mixing the fresh strawberries in the glaze and spreading them on top, I like to arrange strawberry slices decoratively on top of the glaze. ” – April Ferre
