Nothing tastes better in the heat of summer than a light, sweet, fruity treat. These mini fruit pizzas are just that, and so, so refreshing to enjoy and share with others. This is the kind of treat that completes the best of summertime memories. So line up your favorite toppings and get to creating your one-of-a-kind mini sweet pizzas!

3 Reasons to Love Mini Fruit Pizzas
1. These mini fruit pizzas are so customizable. Mix and match toppings as you like. Add your favorite fruit, candy or nut (which is obviously pecans, right? ;)) and enjoy.
2. Mini fruit pizzas are very fun and easy to create. Build with the kiddos and grandkiddos and taste the fruit (and nuts) of your labor. Don’t forget to snap a picture of the making so you can treasure the memory any time.
3. These mini fruit pizzas freeze well. The key is to form the dough into balls. Freeze for 30 minutes. Then toss the frozen dough balls in a plastic container. Once ready to prepare, pull out of the freezer. Arrange on a cookie sheet. Allow dough balls to thaw. Bake according to original instructions.
