Chocolate Fruit Pizza was on my todo list for a long time and i saw this on pinterest and always wanted to make it for dessert but i completely forgot about it. But when #foodiemonday friends decided that this week we are doing Pizza party...i was excited to do cauliflower crust pizza...but things are not the way we think, my little one was down with fever for almost a week and i dropped the idea of making up this week monday blog hop.But today morning when i saw tempting pizza recipes from foodie friends i couldn't stop myself and thought of getting in mood to make it but the simpler version and Chocolate Fruit Pizza came to rescue me...now i am feeling happy that i made this for breakfast and my elder princess gobbled up 2 portions along with her regular breakfast and the little one just took the pizza cutter and started to slice it and make mess all around...
