Instructions
How To Make The No Bake Crust:
In a saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients, add the butter, granulated sugar, and milk. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. After the minute is done, remove from the heat.
To the saucepan, add the cocoa powder. Stir. The cocoa powder will not mix easily into the butter sugar mixture. Once it is somewhat incorporated, add the oats. Stir until all the oats and cocoa powder are combined. Set aside.
Cut a piece of parchment paper to line whatever pan you are using. A small pizza pan will give the fruit pizza a thicker crust; likewise, a large pizza pan will result in a thin crust. No matter what pan you use, it needs to be lined with either parchment paper or wax paper.
Evenly spread the oatmeal mixture in the pan to create an even pizza crust. Using a spoon, pack the crust into an even, flat layer. Let the crust set up in the refrigerator or on the countertop if you are not in a hurry.
How To Make The Cream Cheese Frosting:
Once the fruit pizza crust has cooled completely, it is time to make the sauce. Otherwise, the sauce will melt and turn into a mess. Good things are worth the wait.
In a stand-up mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter until combined. No lumps should remain.
Next, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat again until everything is combined.
Using an offset spatula, spread the sauce evenly over the cooled pizza crust.
Fruit Pizza Toppings:
Wash and dry any fruit to be used as a topping. Otherwise, the fruit may bleed and add extra moisture to the sauce.
Cut, chop, or leave whole any pieces of fruit you want to use to decorate your fruit pizza. Use my example or create your own!
Notes
Note 1: Regular milk or unsweetened almond milk will both work. Note 2: Regular cocoa powder or Dutch processed cocoa powder will work. If using Dutch processed, it will give the pizza crust a richer, dark chocolate flavor. Note 3: If you don't have quick oats, old-fashioned oats will work; if possible, pulse them in a food processor to break them up a bit. Otherwise, the crust will be very chewy. Also, be sure to use certified gluten free oats if making this for someone with celiac disease or if they have a wheat allergy. Note 4: To keep this recipe low FODMAP, use low FODMAP fruit like blueberries – 1 cup (125 grams), raspberries – ⅓ cup (58 grams), and strawberries – 5 medium (65 grams).Low FODMAP Notes: Low FODMAP ingredient information is based on the Monash University Food App and FODMAP Friendly App testing results.Make Ahead Instructions: Prepare the no bake crust and the cream cheese frosting a day or two in advance. Keep them separate, covered, and store in the refrigerator. For more details on what worked for me, see my notes above.
