This is such a simple but delicious dessert to make - and looks like a lot more effort went into it than really did!
I pre-made the sweet pizza crust (more of a large flat biscuit) this afternoon while Riley was in school & Remy was napping - then all that was left to do once it was cooled was for Remy to help spread the mascarpone on the base and throw on some fruit (which I later re-arranged while she shovelled blueberries into her mouth!).
The great thing about this dessert is that you can use any fruit toppings you like.
I used kiwi, strawberries and blueberries on this one, but bananas, peaches, raspberries, pineapple - any soft fruit would go great on this.
