Remember Sugar Cookie Pizzas? Of course, you do! Here is an allergy-friendly version with no processed sugar! Usually, you could make the frosting from scratch (see below for a recipe), but Instead, this recipe uses Singing Dog Vanilla frosting mix. The Vanilla Cookie Pizza is topped with fresh fruit (we recommend strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and kiwi because they will not oxidize easily). Follow this easy recipe, and in about 35 minutes, you’ll have a delicious vanilla cookie pizza with a sugar cookie crust that you and five friends or family members will love. This recipe also uses our Organic Vanilla to give the cookie crust a strong flavor along with the frosting. If you’re short on time you can use a cut-out sugar cookie mix instead of making your own crust.
This recipe substitutes traditional flour with cassava flour and tiger nut flour to be fantastic for gluten-free diets. As always, we are impressed with this AIP diet-friendly recipe from Wendi’s AIP Kitchen. Enjoy!
If you would like to make your own frosting you will need the following:
- 1/2 cup organic palm shortening
- 2 TBSP pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp Singing Dog alcohol free vanilla (also available on Amazon)
- 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
Then all you have to do is cream the shortening, add the syrup and vanilla, and cream again. Then, with the mixer still running, gradually add the arrowroot.
