How To Make Mini Fruit Pizza
Step One: Make The Cream Cheese Frosting
To make the cream cheese frosting, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the thawed Cool Whip and beat until smooth. Then, stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
To make things super easy, I used Sandies Shortbread Cookies, but you can also make homemade sugar cookies or shortbread cookies if you prefer. Spread one tablespoon of the frosting on each cookie.
Step Two: Slice The Fruit
For the fruit, I used mandarin oranges, kiwis, strawberries, and blackberries. Cut the larger pieces of fruit into smaller pieces and leave the larger one whole.
Step Three: Top Shortbread Cookies
Top each cookie with a combination of fruit. Another fun option would be to frost the shortbread and then allow guests to add their own favorite fruit toppings. Just cut all of the fruit up and put it on the serving table in small glass bowls.
You can make this dessert the night before. The shortbread cookies will soften overnight, so store them in the fridge until ready to serve.
Make Ahead and Storage
- Make Ahead: If you plan to serve mini fruit pizzas within 24 hours, you can make them ahead of time. Otherwise, you can make the frosting and dice the fruit, but wait to assemble the cookies.
- Refrigerator: Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
- Freezer: We do not recommend freezing mini fruit pizzas.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can use blueberries, raspberries, grapes, or peaches.
Try using light Cool Whip and Neufchatel cream cheese in the frosting. Substitute the shortbread cookies with graham crackers or apple or watermelon slices.

I love fruit pizza! I’ve never even thought about making mini ones! I’m doing all mini desserts for my nephew’s wedding and everyone will devour these! Super easy yet elegant. I just need to figure out how far in advance I can make them. 😊
