Toppings
Instructions
- To make the crust, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until the ingredients form a ball. (If your dates are hard, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes first, and drain.)
- Sprinkle shredded coconut, if you have some, on the bottom of a pie pan or pizza pan. This is to help it come out easier. Spread the dough" with your fingers to create a crust that's about 1/4 inch thick. It makes about a 10-inch pizza or fills the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Wash the food processor, and make the frosting.
- To make the sweet potato frosting, first bake the white sweet potato. I use the microwave for about 6-8 minutes and let it cool. You can also use the oven or a crock pot for 2-3 hours. Measure 1 cup of the baked potato, mash with a fork into a measuring up. Make the filling by combining the 1 cup of potato with all the ingredients in a food processor, until smooth and creamy.
- To make the coconut lemon frosting, blend everything together in a food processor for at least 2 minutes, until thick and fluffy.
- Assemble the pizza by spreading the frosting on the crust, and topping with all your favorite fruits. The filling gets more firm and even more delicious after chilling for a few hours. I like to add the fruits just before serving so it's fresh and beautiful. Grate some lemon zest on top for extra fanciness.
