Stars & Stripes Pizza Dessert
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pkg (8 oz or 235 g each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pkg (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (250 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest
1 cup (250 mL) fresh blueberries
1 lb (450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 3 cups/750 mL)
2 medium bananas, sliced
Lemon-lime soda or additional lemon juice
DIRECTIONS
1.Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Unroll crescent dough into 3 long strips. Arrange dough on Rectangle Stone, pinching seams together to seal. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; cool completely.
2.In Small Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest; mix well using Classic Scraper. Spread cream cheese mixture over top crust.
3.Hull strawberries using The Corer™. Slice strawberries and bananas using Egg Slicer Plus®. Dip banana slices in lemon-lime soda to prevent browning.
4.To assemble, arrange blueberries in a square in upper left corner to represent stars. Make alternating rows of strawberries and bananas to represent stripes. Cover with plastic wrap. Chill up to 6 hours.
5.To serve, cut into squares using Pizza Cutter; serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.
