Aside from fresh fruit and s'mores, we don't really have any favorite desserts that don't require use of an oven. Usually I pick a relatively cool day to bake and freeze several things, brownies, cake, crisps, etc. This dessert is can be partially made ahead and frozen, completing the day you serve it. It's one of my favorites!
Fruit Pizza
1/2 c butter, room temp
1 c sugar
1 egg, beaten to blend
1/4 c milk
1/4 t vanilla
2 c flour
1 t baking powder
11 oz cream cheese, room temp
1/2 c sugar
1 t vanilla
your favorite fruit
Cream butter with 1 c sugar, using electric mixer. Add egg, milk and 1/4 t vanilla. Sift flower with baking powder; blend into butter mixture. Cover dough and refrigerate 25 minutes or overnight. ~~ Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter 14" round pizza pan. Press dough into pan evenly. Bake 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool crust to room temperature. (freeze at this point if desired) ~~ Combine cream cheese, 1/2 c sugar and 1 t vanilla. Spread over crust. Cover with your favorite fresh fruit. Cut into wedges and serve.
I like to use a variety of fruit - peaches, kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, mandarin oranges. You could also use refrigerated sugar cookie dough for the crust and refrigerated fruit dip for the topping, but I find this homemade version unbeatable.
