| 4 | Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the assorted vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. Set them aside for later use. |

| 6 | Spread Cream Mixture: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, ensuring full coverage. This creamy base adds richness to the pizza. |
| 7 | Add Vegetables: Sprinkle the chopped vegetables evenly over the cream cheese layer. Feel free to get creative and use your favorite veggies for added color and flavor. |
| 8 | Chill in Fridge: Place the prepared pizza in the fridge and let it chill for at least 1 hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and enhances the taste of the pizza. |
