Ingredients
  

4 large sweet bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh mixed fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, sliced bananas, or any seasonal fruit)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 cup granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, wash the bell peppers thoroughly. Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place them upright in a baking dish.

    Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

      Add the Fruit: Gently fold in the mixed fresh fruits into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are well-coated and evenly distributed.

        Stuff the Peppers: Spoon the creamy fruit filling into each of the prepared bell peppers, packing it in gently to avoid any spilling.

          Bake the Peppers: Place the stuffed peppers in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape.

            Add Toppings: Remove the peppers from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before sprinkling granola on top for added crunch.

              Garnish: Add a mint leaf to each pepper as an eye-catching garnish and a hint of freshness.

                Serve: Enjoy your colorful stuffed fruit pizza bell peppers warm or at room temperature, either as a delightful appetizer, side dish, or a fun party treat!
