Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Press all 8 jumbo biscuits together on the sheet into one large round or rectangle about 10 inches (25 cm) wide, pinching the seams closed and flattening evenly.

  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown, then cool completely on the sheet.

  4. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then stir in the drained crushed pineapple.

  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edge.

  6. Arrange the sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi and blueberries over the top in rows or a pattern.

  7. Chill for 15 minutes so the topping firms up, then cut into 8 wedges and serve.
