Yvonne's Strawberry Pizza

CRUST
1 1/2	Cups	plain flour
1	cup	Butter
1/4	cup	Brown Sugar
1/2	Cup	chopped pecans or chopped peanuts

Mix all the above ingredients together and press into a pizza pan.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Let cool for 30 to 45 minutes.

FILLING
1	Pkg. (8 oz.)	Cream cheese, softened
3/4	Cups	Powdered sugar
1	8 oz. container	Whipped topping, thawed (I use 'light' cool whip)

Mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar

Fold in the whipped topping to the above mixture.

Spread this mixture over the cooled pizza crust.

TOPPING:
4	Cups	sliced fresh strawberries (save a few to put on top)
1	3 oz. pkg	strawberry gelatin
1	cup	water or strawberry juice
1/2	Cup	Sugar
		Dash of salt
4	tablespoons	cornstarch

Mix gelatin, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water or strawberry juice.

Dissolve cornstarch and other 1/2 cup of water or juice. stir in gelatin mixture. Cook until thickened and add strawberries.

Let cool.

Spread on top of the cheese layer.

(I use one container of Marzetti's (sugar-free) strawberry glaze from store instead of making the topping recipe.)

Top with fresh, sliced strawberries.

Makes 10-12 servings
