No, I used fresh. I buy them from Chinatown. They are available in North America around this time of year. No need to add sugar to them because they are naturally sweet.
However canned lychees /lichees could be used though I've never used canned lychees at home.
For folks unfamiliar with this fruit. http://www.foodsubs.com/Fruittroex.html
It has texture of a grape after you peel off the skin with your fingers, with medium sized brown seed in the middle. The flesh is white.
For recipe one can use all grapes/blueberries or fresh cut figs. (Yummers) I was just experimenting. Forgot to mention to sprinkle abit of grated lemon peel all over the dessert pizza. We just didn't have lemon on hand. YOu could also sprinkle on crumbled blue cheese or goat cheese as soon as you remove from oven. Dessert pizza should be eaten warm for best effect.
Don't know if it's worth providing the recipe to TE. Let me know. My recipe requires 1 hr. dough rising, punch down, followed by another half hr. of rising, before dividing/flattening out the dough ball to add on the trimmings. But if you already use a pizza dough recipe, just pile in the ingredients before shoving in the masterpiece in the oven.
I don't use a rolling pin for flattening out. I'm pretty primitive/rustic? and hands-on.
