The perfect blend of fruit and cookie. Fruit Sugar Cookie Cups is basically a fruit pizza but in individual portions.
That is easy enough, wouldn't you agree?
Strawberries are coming into season here. In fact, my patch outside is about ready to start turning. We had the first strawberry of the year ripen a few days ago and as usual, I had to divide the strawberry up so every child gets a taste. It's worth it though because I love seeing the kids excited about fruit. I see a strawberry pie in our future! (Strawberry soup as well!)
Can I use other fruit besides raspberries and strawberries
Yes you can! I would say blueberries would be great in this cream cheese recipe as would peaches. If you use a fruit like peaches, be sure to use a Fruit Fresh type product on it to keep it from turning brown, like this one.
Even though I didn't use our own fruit from our garden, this recipe was delicious with store bought strawberries and raspberries. The sugar cookie dough is a simple recipe and the cream cheese mixture is, well, fantastic of course. Cream cheese and powdered sugar: how could it not be fabulous?
How to put together the Fruit Sugar Cookie Cups
When I made these, I found that using a muffin tin for the sugar cookie base worked great. I simply pressed the dough into the bottom of a slightly greased muffin tin.
I then used a small scoop for the cream cheese mixture. That worked perfectly. After scooping the perfect amount, it was easy to spread the mixture around.
I then added the chopped up fruit on top of the cream cheese mixture.
These fruit sugar cookie cups didn't make it very long at our house. In fact, Ryan got home from working all day at Grandma's and was not happy to discover there was none left. The way we saw it, he ate out twice at Grandma and Grandpa's. He got corn fritters and everything. He didn't need any more fruit sugar cookie cups. ;-)
This dessert would be great for upcoming family gatherings, picnics and BBQ's. Easy to make and looks so appealing. The fresh fruit is always a crowd favorite.
