Method
 

The Crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  3. Peel and mash the bananas in a medium sized mixing bowl, set aside.
  4. Pour the oats into a high speed blender, blend until the oats become a flour.
  5. In the mixing bowl with the mashed bananas, mix in the oat flour and all the other ingredients until well combined.
  6. Let the batter set for 5 minutes before pouring onto the lined baking sheet.
  7. Spread the batter out to cover the baking sheet.
  8. Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  9. After 15 minutes, turn the baking sheet around in the oven and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
  10. Check the crust after 10 minutes, it should have a nice brown color on both sides and along the edges when it is done.
  11. Once the crust is done, remove from the oven, and leave to completely cool.
Making the cream cheese
  1. Soak the raw cashews for up to 4 hours before making the vegan cream cheese.
  2. After the cashews are done soaking, drain and rinse.
  3. Pour the cashews into a high speed blender along with the milk, cornstarch, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Blend on high, until smooth and creamy, pour into a small sauce pan and cook on a medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is the consistency of cream cheese.
  5. Remove from heat, pour, and spread the cheese evenly over the crust.
  6. Place this into the refrigerator for about an hour before adding the fruit.
  7. While the pizza is in the refrigerator, prepare the fruit.
Topping the Gluten Free Fruit Pizza
  1. Slice the strawberries into small pieces.
  2. Clean and drain the other berries, set aside.
  3. After an hour, pull the cooled pizza crust out of the refrigerator.
  4. Sprinkle all the fruits evenly over the entire crust.
  5. Cut the pizza into squares and serve cold.
