Yet another derivation of fruit pizza...


This looks extra yummy! It seems a bit more complicated than other versions, but only because it has more ingredients and steps (less baking time though). Still looks simple enough. Bet a graham cracker crust would work also, but hey...the fiber of cereal with dessert...it's a win - win!
  Cherry Cream Pizza with Tuxedo Topping 


Ingredients
Crust
3 cups Fiber One® original bran cereal
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/4cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Topping
1 package (8 oz) fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 1/2 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped (1/4 cup)
1 1/2 oz white chocolate baking bar, chopped (1/4 cup)
  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and crush cereal with rolling pin or meat mallet (or crush in food processor). 
  2. In medium bowl, mix cereal, melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar and the vanilla. Press evenly on bottom and 1/2 inch up side of pizza pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  3. Just before serving, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and the almond extract with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread evenly over cereal mixture. Spread with pie filling.
  4. In small microwavable bowl, microwave semisweet chocolate on High about 1 minute or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. In another small bowl, repeat with white chocolate. Drizzle chocolates over filling; cool slightly. Cut into wedges.
