Steve's Fruit Pizza
Ingredients
Directions
Make the gelatin base
Pour gelatin into bowl and add 2½ cups boiling water to gelatin.
Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Spray pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray and pour gelatin mixture into pizza pan.
Put pan into refrigerator to chill until firm, about 3 hours.
Unmold and assemble
Remove pan from refrigerator when ready to serve.
Put about 1 inch of warm water in sink and carefully dip just bottom of pan into warm water for 15 seconds.
Spread whipped topping over gelatin just before serving, leaving about 1 inch of space around outside edge of gelatin for pizza crust.
Top pizza with fruit and cut into wedges.

What each ingredient does
- Jell-o gelatin
- Sets the liquid into a firm, sliceable base that holds its shape.
- Cool whip
- Adds a light, creamy topping that softens the sweetness of the base.
- Cut-up fruit
- Adds fresh flavor, color and juiciness on top of the set base.
The step that matters
Dip only the bottom of the pan in warm water. Brief warming melts the thin layer of gelatin touching the pan so it releases cleanly. Longer or deeper dipping can soften the edges and make the base lose its shape.
