Recipe preparation for Mini Fruit Pizzas

How to Make Mini Fruit Pizzas

Prepare Your Base: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, creating small rounds about 3 inches in diameter.

Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie rounds in the oven for 10-12 minutes until they’re golden brown around the edges. The aroma will fill your kitchen with sugary goodness!

Cool Down Delightfully: Once baked, let your cookies cool completely on a wire rack before decorating. This step ensures that the cream cheese layer won’t melt away into oblivion!

Create Your Creamy Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well — you want it creamy yet spreadable.

Top It Off!: Spread a generous layer of your cream cheese mixture over each cooled cookie base. The more, the merrier!

Add Colorful Fruits: Arrange sliced fruits artistically on top of each mini pizza. Get creative! Channel your inner Picasso as you create edible masterpieces.

Now you’re ready to serve these charming delights! Enjoy them at parties or save some for yourself—though I must warn you; they might disappear quickly!

Each step brings you closer to those delightful Mini Fruit Pizzas that everyone will love. Happy baking!
