Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 mini pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 package sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup assorted fresh fruits (berries, kiwi, etc.)
Instructions
- Remove the sugar cookie dough from packaging and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut 12 circular cookie bases, placing them on a clean baking sheet or serving platter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each cookie base, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the fresh fruits. Slice or chop fruits into small, decorative pieces.
- Artfully arrange the assorted fruits on top of the cream cheese layer, creating colorful and appealing mini pizzas.
- Chill the mini fruit pizzas in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to set and flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Tips
- Room Temperature Magic: Let your sugar cookie dough sit out for exactly 10 minutes. This ensures easy rolling and cutting without cracking.
- Fruit Selection Matters: Choose fruits that are ripe but firm. Mix colors and textures like strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and mandarin oranges for a stunning visual appeal.
- Cream Cheese Perfection: Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free spread.
- Chill for Success: The 15-30 minute refrigeration isn't just for show - it helps the flavors meld and makes the mini pizzas easier to handle.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare these up to 2-3 hours in advance, keeping them refrigerated until serving time.
- Decoration Tip: For an extra touch, consider a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey just before serving.
