Avocado-Lime Whip Fruit Medley Pizza in a Sugar Cinnamon Crust



Pizza Dough1 cup white bread flour (all purpose probably works too) + ¾ cup flour, divided
¾ tsp kosher salt
1.5 tsp white sugar
2 tsp pizza herbs (mixture of dried oregano, basil
2 & ¼ tsp pizza yeast (no proofing req) or instant yeast
3 tbsp oil
2/3 cup very warm water (not lukewarm)
More flour for surface when kneading 

Avocado-Lime Whip
4 avocados
fresh lime juice from half a lime (approx 1 tsp)
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup agave nectar
2-3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1-2 tbsp coconut milk
12 tbsp icing sugar (confectioner's)

Directions
In a food processor, add in the avocado, lime juice, and agave. Process until smooth. Now add in the vanilla, melted coconut oil, and coconut milk. As the last step, add in the icing sugar very gradually until the consistency you want is achieved. Cool in fridge for about 30 minutes before using. Spread over the base of cooled & cooked pizza crust.

Fruit Medley
Fruit salsa: Chop up a mixture of strawberries, mandarin oranges, mango, kiwi, and raspberries. Add in blueberries too. You will want about 2-3 cups of the salsa.
Fruit layer: Mandarin, strawberries (sliced), blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi (sliced), mango (sliced), and whatever else your little heart desires! Peach would be good too.

Directions
After you have spread on the avocado-lime whip, it is time to layer on the fruit. I started with an outer layer of fruit salsa, followed by a layer of sliced fruit. After those two layers, I did a very small layer of sprinkled coconut, followed by a layer of raspberries, and then finally fruit salsa. I left the inner circle open as I was going to put a large strawberry there, but then we ate it and that was that.
