Prep Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 27 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 11/3 cup shortening
  • 11/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbs whole milk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 jars 13 oz each Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme
  • 2 packages cream cheese
  • Assorted fruits

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together shortening, sugar, orange zest and vanilla until combined. Add in eggs and beat until light and fluffy then mix in milk.
  3. In a separate medium-sized bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt), and fold into wet mixture.
  4. Slightly flatten batter between two sheets of waxed paper and then between two baking sheets. Refrigerate for one hour.
  5. Remove dough from refrigerator and press into a pizza pan, using your fingers. Round up the edges slightly, just as you would for pizza.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookie dough is lightly golden. Be careful not to overcook as you want the crust to be soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  7. Using a mixer, whip together Marshmallow Creme and cream cheese until light. Spread onto cooled crust and decorate with sliced fruit.
