Let’s Get Started!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, mix the margarine, and ½ cup sugar together, stirring with a spoon until smooth. Mix in egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to margarine and egg mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Press the dough into the ungreased pizza pan.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. Let cool.
- While the crust is baking, use the knife to peel and slice the mango and kiwis. Cut each slice in half. Cut the strawberries and grapes in half as well.
- In a large bowl, use a spoon to mix together the non-dairy cream cheese and the remaining ¼ cup sugar. Mix in vanilla extract. Spread the non-dairy cream cheese mixture onto cooled crust.
- Arrange fruit in circles on the non-dairy cream cheese mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Slice with pizza cutter. Serve.
