Fun & Fruity Recipes
By Deborah Shelton
Sometimes the easiest way to get children to eat healthy is
to let them have a hand in making their own snacks…and add
whipped cream on top. Here are two fruity recipes that are
fun and easy to make, and even more fun to eat.
Miniature Fruit Pizzas
1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Assorted fresh fruit, cut into bite size pieces, such as
bananas, kiwis, oranges, blueberries, grapes, strawberries,
pineapple, etc.
Directions: Cut sugar cookie dough into 1-inch slices and
place on ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake as
directed, or until lightly browned around the edges. Allow
the cookies to cool.
Combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; mix well.
Spread over cooled cookies. Decorate with assorted fruit.
Yummy!
Strawberry Angels
1 angel food cake
6 large strawberries
1 carton whipped topping
Directions: First, cut the cake into serving-size pieces.
Slice the strawberries and layer on top of the cake. Then
spoon whipped topping on top of the strawberries. Serve and
enjoy!
