Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Drizzle glaze over fruit and refrigerate pizza until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two 12-inch pizza pans.

Step 3

Make crust: Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl until batter is just mixed. Divide mixture between the two prepared pizza pans and press down evenly.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove crusts from the oven and cool completely, at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Make cream cheese layer: Whisk together cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and almond extract in a large bowl until smooth; spread onto cooled crusts.

Step 6

Arrange fruit: Place strawberries, pineapple, and peaches on cream cheese layer.

Step 7

Make glaze: Combine white sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch in medium saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until glaze is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and refrigerate glaze until cooled, about 20 minutes.
