Mini Fruit Pizza

Mini Fruit Pizza – a classic dessert made using homemade soft sugar cookies topped with fresh fruit. Perfect for barbecues, potlucks, and parties. 

Now that spring is here, I love that I’m starting to see tons of fresh fruit showing up again.

In case you were looking for some lighter dessert options for Easter this weekend or Mother’s Day next month, these Mini Fruit Pizzas would make a great addition to your menu.

Mini desserts are my favorite since they are just so darn cute! Plus they are the perfect size to bring to parties or even just to eat by yourself.

HOW TO MAKE A MINI FRUIT PIZZA

This Mini Fruit Pizza recipe starts off with a simple soft sugar cookie dough. It’s made with:

• butter
• sugar
• vanilla
• flour
• baking powder
• and some salt

The key ingredient to keeping these sugar cookies nice and soft is to add a touch of corn starch.

Once the dough comes together, roll out the cookie dough balls onto a [amazon_textlink asin=’B00282JL7G’ text=’baking sheet’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ed23b41b-90aa-11e8-9e58-658cc7a2798e’]. The cookies don’t spread too much so you’ll need to flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon or a small glass.

Bake in the oven for 8-9 minutes or until the cookies are lightly brown on the edges. Cool for 5 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, you can whip up the homemade coconut cream cheese frosting and slice up some fruit for the topping. Use any variety you like to give it some beautiful and bright colors.

Mini fruit pizza is a great dessert at any time of year, but the fruit pizzas are especially perfect for spring and summer celebrations. Plus they are a great way to incorporate the colors of the rainbow into your diet. Serving them on a [amazon_textlink asin=’B00I3IQ1RC’ text=’silver platter’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’lifmadswe09-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’20a8a297-90ab-11e8-9e7c-113de2d8433e’] makes them look so elegant!

HOW TO CREATE MAKE AHEAD MINI FRUIT PIZZA

• Bake the cookies the day before and store in an air-tight container at room-temperature.
• Make the cream cheese frosting the day before and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. In the morning, just smear or pipe onto the cookies.
• Wash the fruit ahead of time and slice on the day of serving to top on the cookie pizza crusts.
