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!
