Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
Place the pie crust on a cookie sheet and allow it to thaw if frozen.
-
Once thawed, use your hands to press the dough flat and shape it into a 12-inch circle on the cookie sheet.
-
Flute the edges of the crust and pierce the surface gently all over with a fork.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned.
-
Remove from oven and let the crust cool completely.
-
While the crust cools, place cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on high speed until smooth.
-
Add grated orange peel to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
-
With the mixer still running, slowly pour in the light corn syrup and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
In a separate small bowl, beat the milk and vanilla pudding mix at low speed for 2 minutes until thickened.
-
Fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
-
Spoon the creamy filling evenly onto the cooled pie crust.
-
Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the filling.
-
Peel the orange, removing all white pith and seeds, and slice it thinly.
-
Arrange the orange slices and kiwi slices decoratively on top of the coconut.
-
Halve the grapes and press them, cut side down, into the filling in a decorative pattern.
-
Place halved or whole strawberries around the edge or in a pattern on the pizza.
-
Lightly sift powdered sugar over the entire dessert.
-
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
