Informative Speech: How to make Fruit Pizza
INTRO:
Good morning everyone, I am Kaylee Black. Everyone has a favorite dessert, and mine is a fruit pizza. Since I was a little girl I always loved to help my mom make this treat. Baking became somewhat of a tradition for my mom and I. Making a fruit pizza is something fun and simple that can be enjoyed by many. Today, I will walk you through what you will need, how you will prepare and serve a quick, easy and delicious fruit pizza. * The first step in making the fruit pizza is to gather all the ingredients and materials needed. * To begin I make a list of the ingredients I need, I got the recipe from Pilsbury.com * The following ingredients are essential to the Fruit pizza. For the crust you will need just one ingredient 1. 1 roll of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough
Then for the frosting you will need 2. 1 Package of Cream Cheese softened 3. 1/3 cup of sugar 4. ½ a teaspoon of vanilla
For the toppings you can include all or just a few of the fruits, depending on your liking 1. Strawberries 2. Kiwis 3. Raspberries 4. Blueberries 5. Mandarin Oranges
On Foodnetwork.com they even add chocolate chips to add as toppings to the pizza.
On Allrecipes.com they have another variation you can choose to do or not. They add an apple jelly to cover the fruit. I personally do not care for the jelly. The materials you will need will be: 1. A 12 in round pizza pan 2. Non-stick spray or foil 3. Small Bowl 4. Electric Mixer
After you have all the ingredients and materials rounded up now we can start the fun part! The baking.

There is 10 easy steps in making this simple and delicious dessert, now for the first step, 1. Before you begin preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, that way it will be at the desired temperature when you are ready to begin baking the crust. i. Contrary to what you guys think, a higher heat doesn’t mean it will cook faster 2. Spray the non-stick cooking spray on the pizza pan or cover the pan with foil so the cookie doesn’t stick to the pan. 3. Then after you spray the pan begin by gently placing the cookie dough on the pan. It is very important that the cookie dough is evenly placed on the pan, that way the cookie will cook evenly throughout. 4. After the desired thickness of the crust, place the cookie crust in the oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. But watch it carefully while It is cooking, sometimes the cookie will rise from air bubbles and you will need to push it down to make sure it cooks all the way through. 5. Then Let the cookie cool for about 30 minutes. 6. Now, for the frosting. In a small bowl beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer. If you do not have an electric mixer a fork will do the trick as well. Just mix till the mixture is fluffy. 7. Begin by spreading the mixture over the cooled crust. 8. After you have iced the pizza place it in the fridge. 9. Next, choose the fruits you want to have on your pizza and start cutting them. 10. Now for the last step which happens to be my favorite part involves being creative and designing the fruits. Arrange the fruit in a design of your choice.
-Once you are done placing the fruit on the pizza you are finished, just keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Now that you know the steps in making a fruit pizza I am going to tell you how to serve, best times and places to take it. Serving the fruit pizza is very simple, you just cut it the same way as you would cut a pizza and serve it. My favorite times to have this dessert is in the summertime when it is hot. This dessert is a refreshing dessert since it is served cold with fruit. I love to make this for my friends who have summer birthdays and decorate it with the age they are turning. Also the 4th of July I always make it using a rectangle pan instead of a circle and use the fruit to make it look like a flag.
CONCLUSION
Now that I taught you all how to make a quick and easy fruit pizza, I hope you will try and make this simple dessert for your friends and dinner parties in the future. I hope you all enjoy the fruit pizza I made for you all!
