Description
At its heart, a Mini Fruit Pizzas with Sugar Cookie Crust is a handheld version of the classic large-scale fruit pizza. While the larger version is often served on a massive pizza stone and sliced like a traditional pie, the mini version offers a much more refined experience. Each guest gets their own individual “pizza,” which means no messy slicing and a much higher ratio of crust-to-frosting-to-fruit in every single bite.
