Fruit Pizza

from swedepea

 

sugar cookie dough or premade shortbread cups

8 oz. cream cheese

1 container cool whip

1/2 cup sugar

fruit: mandarin oranges, berries, kiwi, etc.

Fruit tarts or fruit pizza works great and looks WAY more complicated than it is to make!

You can either buy pre-made little shortbread tart "cups/dishes" (I'm sure there's a specific name for them, but I'm blanking and am too lazy to look it up), or just make sugar cookie dough and roll it out to cover the whole cookie sheet, as if you were making a pizza, and bake it.

Then mix together an 8 oz package of cream cheese with half a container of cool whip and .... hmmm...I can't remember if it is half a cup of sugar or a whole cup...well, start with a half and if it isn't sweet enough, add another half :). Scoop this mixture into the tarts or spread on the "cookie."

Then cover with fruit - mandarin oranges, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi fruit, etc.

My mom and I made the fruit tarts for a wedding shower we threw for my cousin and everyone was SO impressed...truth is, it was one of the easiest things we made. But they look so elegant.
