1 7-ounce container marshmallow creme fluff
Strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, or your favorite fruit
Glaze

Pizza
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press dough flat into a greased pizza pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, and then fold in marshmallow creme. Spread over cooled crust. Chill pizza for a while at this point, or continue by arranging the fruit.
3. Slice strawberries and arrange them in a circle around the outside edge. Continue with fruit of your choice, working toward the middle.
Glaze
1. In a saucepan, combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, orange juice, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until thickened.
2. Remove from heat and add orange zest. Allow mixture to cool, but not set up.
3. Spoon glaze over fruit. Chill for 2 hours, cut into wedges, and serve.
