Little bites fascinate me. I love little plates of fancy appetizers that get passed around at parties. Getting to eat teeny bites of scrumptiousness allows you so much more freedom to try EVERYTHING!
A while ago my daughter made snickerdoodles. And she likes little things too, likes to make tiny little cookies about the size of a fifty cent piece. And she really loves snickerdoodles so I think she must have doubled the batch because we ended up with buckets of teeny snickerdoodles. She ate and ate and ate, but eventually she tired of them. And once you’ve tired of snickerdoodles, what do you do with them?
The answer came to me today: you make fruit pizzas with them. Fancy little bite-size fruit pizzas that you could serve at a cocktail party with raspberry fizzes or peach margaritas, fruity iced tea, or a lovely summery white wine.
You could get quite creative and use lots of different fruits. I love the elegance of peaches and raspberries, but I could imagine bananas, kiwis, mango, strawberries, blueberries … it could be a veritable fruit festival!
They’d also be lovely for an afternoon tea party with your daughter with raspberry lemonade.
You could even have these bitty fruit pizzas for breakfast with some sweet chai tea latte. Which is, incidentally, what I am doing right now.
Mini Peach Raspberry Fruit Pizzas with Honey-Lime Cream
Ingredients:
- A batch of snickerdoodles or sugar cookies
- 3 oz. light cream cheese
- About 1 T. honey
- A sprinkle of nutmeg
- About 1/3 of a fresh lime
- Peaches, sliced thin
- Raspberries
- Fresh mint leaves
Directions:
- Mix the cream cheese, honey and nutmeg, then squeeze the juice from the lime and blend that in as well.
- With a butter knife, spread a layer of the honey-lime cream cheese mixture over each cookie, then top with 2 peach slices, a raspberry or two or three, and a fresh mint leaf.
- Arrange the lovely little peachy fruit pizzas on a pretty plate or platter and serve!
Aren’t they lovely?

They ARE lovely! What a fantastic idea! I, too, love tiny bites because then you get to try everything. My favorite thing to eat is a good buffet because I take a small spoon of almost anything, just to taste. After all, you can always go back for more of something if it is delicious. I’m sure I would be back for more of these gorgeous little fruity pizzas.
Thank you so much Stacy!
