Fruit Pizza - SO YUMMY

STRESSFUL DAY AT WORK -> Baking Time with Kimdolion!

Found a recipe for what is effectively delicious pie crust.

1 and 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 and a half full sticks of butter!

Beat that stuff into submission and you've got yourself some awesome crust that needs some tender 350* lovin' in the oven for 10 minutes.

Then came the basically cheesecake without the egg filling... pizza sauce... whatever.

Soooo many strawberries. 

It's good to buy them organic because of the possibility for developing breast cancer otherwise.

Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract into submission as well. 

If you didn't notice, I was making the crust and the sauce one after the other so as to make the best of my time.

I let it sit for about 10 minutes as I cut up the rest of the fruit (canned peaches, fresh kiwi, and fresh blueberries)

I had enough of the pizza filling to make actual cheesecake as well!

Err... more like two cheesecakes. I had bought way too much. Still trying to figure out what is the right amount.

Gods it was so beautiful

Even better lookin' when it's mostly devoured by awesome coworkers/teachers!

Onwards to the filling!

This hot mess that you see before you is 1 cup of corn syrup (with a hint of vanilla flavoring apparently...) 

and bread crumbs (2 and 1/4 cups, supposed to be fresh)

This combo gave us this delicious looking animal feed you see above. 

There was also supposed to be rated zest and juice of 1 lemon but we couldn't be bothered to buy 1 lemon for a recipe being made by frugal (read: poor) college students working on a pre-agreed amount for the summer. 

Anyway, we rolled out the dough to make the bottom crust.

Previously we had rolled it out into 9 doughy discs (was going for 8 but I miscounted) because we interpreted the recipe differently. 

We assumed that a tart that served 8 people was 8 cupcake sized tarts for 8 people. It turns out it means one whole tart in a pie pan basically. So go us for not exactly following the recipe.

Lookin' Fab!

Anyway with our corn syrup and bread crumb mash we decided that half a bag of chocolate chips would be the most appreciated addition to this recipe. 

We also (quite literally) threw in some more confectioner's sugar.

Applied lattice work pie crust with the other half of the dough.

Then made mini pies of peanut butter and chocolate chips with the leftover dough. 

Jesus christ our kitchen was a madness after we finished up the tart.

But ... IT WAS AWESOME

We ate almost half of it once it came out.

Then almost annihilated it the next day with more friends
