Fruit Pizza

1 roll Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 cup sugar
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 (8 oz.) cool whip
1 small can crushed pineapple
fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and thinly sliced
bananas, sliced
shredded coconut
finely chopped pecans

Spread sugar cookie dough evenly on a pizza pan using fingertips. Pierce a few times with fork tines and bake at temp listed on package until lightly browned. If it puffs up, press down slightly after you let it cool a little. Cool crust completely. Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip and blend thoroughly. Spread this on the cooled crust.

Drain pineapple thoroughly and spread evenly over cream cheese mixture. Arrange the slices of strawberries on top of the pineapple, then arrange the banana slices. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and sprinkle with pecans. Use your imagination like you are decorating a pizza. Make believe the cream cheese mixture is the sauce, the strawberries and bananas are pepperoni and mushrooms, and the coconut and pecans are the cheese. It is a lot of fun! Refrigerate until serving. Cut into pizza slices to serve.
