You guys.  I’m so excited for these fruit pizzas.  They are so perfectly spring, so gorgeous, and absolutely tasty.

I’ve been so inspired by spring lately – the warmer days, extra sunshine, and the promise that summer is right around the corner.  With that promise comes in season berries – my favorite – that make these Individual Fruit Pizzas over the top delicious.

There’s nothing better than fresh berries, right?

Aside from fresh berries, these fruit pizzas are even better because they’re a wee bit healthier than your traditional fruit pizza, which is typically made with a cream cheese frosting of sorts.

Not that I have issues with cream cheese frosting…

But we all know summer is coming, and I just booked some major plane tickets (!!!) so making sure I’m staying a little on the healthier track is super important (still within balance though, of course!).

Healthier Fruit Pizzas

Not only does the coconut whipped cream make these fruit pizzas a little healthier, but it’s so light, a little bit sweet, and completely ties together the flavors of the sugar cookie and berries.

Trust me, if you’re a cream cheese lover too, you’re not even going to miss it.

Speaking of the cookies… these are the most perfect sugar cookies ever.

Even though they’re “just” sugar cookies there’s not one boring part of the cookies.

They’re light, fluffy, and totally melt in your mouth >>> the perfect base for the coconut whipped cream and fresh berries!

Keeping them normal cookies size makes these fruit pizzas individual sized, which basically in my book translates to me thinking I can eat six and convince myself it’s not that much.

The individual and grab-and-go nature of these fruit pizzas means they’re perfect for holidays, bridal showers, baby showers, Mother’s Day… all those spring activities you have planned that require healthy-ish, delicious finger food!

Soft sugar cookies topped with coconut whipped cream fresh berries, and kiwi; a healthier alternative to traditional fruit pizza!

Ingredients

COOKIES:

Fruit Pizzas:

  • 1 can coconut milk, I use unsweetened, refrigerated*
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 kiwis, peeled, halved, and cut into thin pieces
  • 1 cup strawberries, quartered
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • Coconut flakes to garnish

Instructions
 

COOKIES:

  • Using an electric mixer, cream together butter, vegetable oil, white sugar, and powdered sugar.  Beat in egg.  Add in flour, cream of tartar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt.  Mix thoroughly and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.  Roll dough into 1 inch balls.  Flatten with a sugar-dipped glass (dampen bottom of the glass and dip in sugar).  Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly beginning to brown.  Let cool on cooling rack.

Fruit Pizzas:

  • Remove the can of coconut milk from the fridge*.  Open it from the bottom using a can opener, and drain the liquid (I reserve for future use).  Remove the solid coconut cream and place in your cold mixing bowl. Add sugar and vanilla.  Whip on high for 4-5 minutes until light and creamy.
  • Spread approximately 1-2 teaspoons of coconut whip on each cookie.  Decorate with kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.  Top with coconut flakes as desired.

Notes

You'll want to keep your coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours before making the whipped cream.  The solid cream needs to have time to freeze (however, I've never thrown it in the freezer).  Keep the can upright so the liquid stays on the bottom.  Open from the bottom for easy disposal of the coconut milk liquid and easy access to the cream.
Keep your mixing bowl in the freezer to chill your coconut whipped cream even more in the process!
Store any remaining fruit pizzas in the fridge; they will remain edible but are best eaten the day of!
