Tropical Pizza Pie

By July 18, 2019

I've always thought of pizza as a flat pie. Why not dress it up with some healthy toppings? If you want the eating qualities of a regular pizza, use a pizza crust instead of the piecrust. Either way, the tropical toppings make it a dessert treat.    

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Open a Groovy Coconut and extract the white flesh. See a suggested way for doing this. Take 1/4 of the white flesh and grate. Set aside. Cover the remaining coconut with plastic and save in the refrigerator for another recipe.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450° F.
  3. Peel the Caribbean Red papaya or Solo papayas, discard the seeds and cut into large pieces. See a suggested way for doing this. Put pieces and 1/4 cup sugar into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Slice the starfruit into 1/8-inch star-shaped pieces. See a suggested way for doing this.
  5. In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the starfruit and toss gently to coat. Set aside.
  6. Lay aluminum foil over a large cookie sheet or pizza pan. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
  7. Roll out the piecrust dough onto the foil. Crimp edges slightly to prevent overflow of the fruit filling.
  8. Using a ladle, scoop the pureed papaya onto the crust in a circular motion (as a pizza chef would).
  9. Add the starfruit slices as a chef would place pepperoni on a pizza.
  10. Sprinkle the grated coconut on top.
  11. Bake for
    1. Pie crust - 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm.
    2. Pizza crust - as noted on box, until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm.
