Ingredients
  

1 package (12 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose vanilla or plain based on preference)

2 cups mixed fresh fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana, and mandarin oranges) – diced

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1/4 cup granola (for added crunch, optional)

Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookie taco shells.

    Make the Taco Shells:

      - Roll the sugar cookie dough into small balls, each approximately the size of a golf ball.

        - Place these dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening them slightly to create discs.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a delightful golden brown. Once baked, carefully remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes.

            Shape into Tacos:

              - While the cookie discs are still warm, use a spatula to gently lift each one and drape it over the edge of a bowl or taco holder. This will shape the cookies into taco shells.

                - Allow them to cool completely in this position so they harden into the desired taco shape.

                  Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

                    - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract if you’re using it.

                      - Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it's smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

                        Layer the Filling:

                          - Once the taco shells are fully cooled, begin assembling the tacos by spooning a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of each shell.

                            - Follow the cream cheese layer with a layer of Greek yogurt, spreading it evenly to create a nice base for the fruits.

                              Top with Fruits:

                                - Artistically arrange the mixed fresh fruits over the yogurt layer. You can create colorful patterns or simply pile them high for a more inviting and vibrant display.

                                  Add Final Touches:

                                    - For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle shredded coconut and granola over the top of the filled tacos, if desired.

                                      - Finish off by garnishing with lemon zest and fresh mint leaves for a bright, refreshing touch.

                                        Chill and Serve:

                                          - Place the assembled fruit pizza tacos in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow them to set and chill properly.

                                            - Serve these delightful treats cold and enjoy the explosion of flavors and textures with every bite!
