1/3 cup plus 1/4-cup honey, divided, plus more for garnish if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

One package (8 ounces) cream cheese -- reduced or non-fat if watching your diet!
3 cups assorted sliced or whole fresh fruits such as strawberries, oranges, kiwis, bananas or blueberries
Toasted coconut or granola (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375-degrees. To make crust, in large bowl, combine flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, 1/3 cup honey and vanilla; stir into flour mixture. Stir in egg yolk and milk; form into ball with hands. Place on lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
With floured hands, press dough to form 12-inch circle.
Bake in preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
To make topping, in a small bowl, combine cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup honey. Mix until well blended.
To serve, spread topping onto crust to within 1/2-inch of edge. Arrange fruit over top; sprinkle with toasted coconut or granola. Drizzle with honey or chocolate syrup, if desired. Recipe makes one, 12-inch Fresh Fruit Pizza.
Note: If time is of the essence, use pre-made pizza crust dough.
