When the good folks at Chobani sent me a variety of their Greek yogurt to work into recipes, when I saw the pineapple flavored yogurt, I knew immediately what I would do: Fruit Dip. I have a dip that is made with marshmallow fluff, cream cheese and orange liqueur. I thought the pineapple yogurt would be a great sub in that recipe.
As often happens, before I had an opportunity to make the dip, something else came up: an invitation to a friend’s house. What could we bring? How about an appetizer? Great. The Ranting Wife decided she would make a fruit pizza. Sensing an opportunity to both use the pineapple yogurt and take advantage of my wife doing all the work, I jumped at it. Look for the standard fruit dip post in the future.
The fruit pizza always looks so delicious; it tastes it too!
A handful of ingredients beyond the fruit. I included both the yogurt and cream cheese, not knowing how much she might use of each.
The Chobani Greek Yogurt is nice and creamy and the pineapple is a great favor to add to the pizza base.
Making the dough for the base.
It is very much like a thinner shortbread in both the making and taste.
The Ranting Wife used about a cup of the yogurt and half of the cream cheese in the recipe.
The crust is baked.
Spread with the topping.
What an awesome dish!
Fruit Pizza
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter, cut into pieces
- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese (softened) or 4oz cream cheese and 8oz of Chobani Pineapple flavored Greek yogurt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3-4 cups assorted fresh fruit
- ¼ cup apple jelly, melted
Directions:
1. Combine flour and powdered sugar; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Pat mixture on 12-inch pizza pan (buy the foil kind if you’re taking it or giving it); bake at 350 degrees until browned (about 8-10 minutes, depending on your oven). Cool.
2. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla until fluffy; spread over cooled crust. Arrange fruit on cream cheese (the recipe assumes you’ll know to SLICE what needs slicing first); brush with jelly.

I pretty much live on their yogurt – yum! That looks wonderful! Did they send you the mango? Or the apricot? My favorites along with the pineapple.

They sent a non-fat plain, low fat plain, pineapple, peach, vanilla, and black cherry. Look for more posts in the next week or two that use them. (Two posts have already run).
