Sharing is caring!

“This post and recipe for easy mini fruit pizzas were created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.”

Welcome to Summer Dessert Week y’all! This week I have so many amazing recipes to share with you. Today — we are starting off with a brand new favorite of mine — Easy Mini Fruit Pizzas.

This dessert is a simple and easy sugar cookie slathered with a decadent cream cheese dip and then topped with fresh fruit. Seriously — these cookies will be gone faster than you can put them together!

How to Make Easy Mini Fruit Pizzas

To make this dish, you only need just a few ingredients —

~Cream Cheese

~Heavy Cream

~Fresh Fruit

~Sugar Cookies

You can make your own sugar cookie dough if you want, but I found that just using store bought dough is just as simple and easy.

For starters — you need to bake your sugar cookies in the oven according to package directions.

Once they get done cooking, move them to a cookie rack or a plate to completely cool before frosting. If you put the cream cheese mixture on the cookie before it is completely cooled down, it will melt and run off.

While the cookies are cooling, you are going to make your cream cheese mixture.

Making the Cream Cheese Frosting

For the cream cheese frosting, you will need

• 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup of powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla

Beat the cream cheese and the powdered sugar together. I was out of powdered sugar, so I took some of my Dixie Crystals sugar and ran it through my food processor until I got a very fine sugar substance and made my own powdererd sugar. It takes just a few minutes to make your own if you are out!

Now, add in the heavy cream and vanilla and beat together until smooth. Spread it on top of the cookies.

Now, using your favorite fruit, chop and dice it and top your cookies with it. For us, we used blueberries, blackberries, kiwi, and grapes. I have used strawberries, pineapples and more in the past. The possibilities are endless.

Then, for the perfect ending to a delicious cookie, mince some fresh mint and sprinkle on top. Serve to your family and friends for the perfect summer dessert!

These easy mini fruit pizzas will be the perfect dessert for your summer get togethers. They take no time to make and taste amazing!

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 package of refrigerated cookie dough
• 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• Fresh fruit for topping the cookies. I used kiwi, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, and blackberries and blueberries but feel free to use whatever is in season

For Homemade Sugar Cookies

• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup shortening
• 2 cups of​ sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• 3 egg yolks
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 2 and ½ cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. If you use store bought cookie dough, bake cookies according to package directions. Remove from hot pan and allow them to cool completely.
2. If you are making homemade sugar cookies, preheat the oven to 300 F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and shorting. Cream in the sugar, baking powder and salt until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat in well. Stir in the flour.
3. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 min. Do not let them brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes. Remove from the tray and let cool completely.
4. While cookies are cooling, you can make the cream cheese frosting --
5. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar until light and smooth. Pour in the heavy cream. Beginning with the mixer on slow speed, start to beat in the cream. Increase the speed of the mixer gradually until the mixture thickens. Add in vanilla and mix together. If your cream cheese mixture is too thin, place in the fridge until firmed up before frosting cookies.
6. Spread the cookies with a bit of the cream cheese and top with fresh fruit and mint. These are best within a day or two of making them.
