MENU OF THE MONTH

Mini Fruit Pizzas

18 minutes · Vegetarian · Serves 24 Mini Fruit Pizzas are individual sized versions of a classic favourite! With a sugar cookie base, cream cheese frosting, and fresh fruit, they’re to die for!

Ingredients: COOKIE:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 cup unsalted butter softened 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 egg 2 tsp vanilla extract

FROSTING:

16 oz cream cheese 1/2 cup butter softened 2 tsp vanilla extract 3 cups powdered sugar Sliced Fruit

”

HT G U O H T R “FOOD FO

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda and baking powder in a small bowl. Mix well.

Cream softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until all mixed.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture until well combined.

Roll dough into 1.5 inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-9 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool.

Make frosting by creaming together two softened 8 oz. cream cheese bars and ½ cup softened butter (1 stick).

Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Slowly add about 3 cups of powdered sugar. Add more or less sugar to get the consistency you desire.

Fruit Ideas: For this post, I used sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, and kiwi. Some other fruits you can use include: - Mandarine oranges, Blackberries, Peaches, Pineapple, Mango
