Fruit Pizza

[quirkycooking]

We love to make this for breakfast on special occasions - although it's so quick and easy you don't really need to wait for a special occasion!  And you don't have to have it at breakfast time, either...  The base is more like a pancake than a pizza crust, and needs to be cooked in a very hot oven so it puffs up.  Top your pizza with whatever fruit you like, and drizzle with either pure maple syrup for breakfast, or melted chocolate for a delicious dessert!  Makes two pizzas.

1.  Preheat oven to 230 degrees C (450 F) and melt butter or ghee in two 9-inch pie plates, then remove from oven:
- 2 Tblspns butter/ghee (1 for each pie plate)
(If you can't have butter or ghee, just grease pie plates with preferred oil.)

2.  Beat together in Thermomix on speed 5 for 20 seconds:
- 6 eggs
- 250g rice-almond milk (or other milk)
- 100g plain spelt flour or gluten free flour
- 2 Tblspns Rapadura or 1 Tblspn honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

3.  Pour into greased pie plates and bake for 8 minutes.  Reduce heat to 190 degrees C (475 F) and bake about 8 minutes longer - until golden brown with puffy sides.

4.  Immediately top with sliced fruit, sprinkle with coconut (opt.) and drizzle with syrup (or chocolate), then slice and serve.
- 1 punnet strawberries, washed and sliced
- sliced bananas
- whatever other fruit you like (kiwi fruit, passionfruit, rockmelon, etc) - optional
- shredded coconut - optional
- pure maple syrup (or melted chocolate)

(Optional: If you like, you can top with a dollop of cashew cream - if you can handle dairy, you can use whipped cream or yoghurt.)

OMG. All I could see as I scrolled to the recipe was this delicious looking selection of fruit. What a breakfast!! I must try it, probably not for breakfast but as a sweet. Thank you.

Lucky kids quirkycooking.When I was a child (sad violin music playing) we had a choice of cornflakes or shredded wheat or porridge in the winter.
Lovely looking pizza and I hope your daughter enjoyed it for her birthday.

Ha ha - yeah, my kids think they're hard done by if there's only porridge for breakfast... but they still get it a couple of times a week.  This is nice for a change when the strawberries are in season!  I often put frozen mixed berries on it too (thawed) - yum!

Looks good Quirky Jo.  Funny, MrsT was watching a Jamie Oliver program about American kids eating pizza for breakfast, but they weren't this healthy.

I must admit, I have had real pizza for breakfast when I was a kid, but only because it was leftovers!  (And it was usually homemade anyway!)
