Ingredients
  

4 large bell peppers (any color)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup strawberries, diced

1 cup blueberries

1 cup kiwi, peeled and diced

1 cup granola (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Peppers: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside. Rinse the peppers under cold water to clean them, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

    Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it’s smooth, creamy, and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.

      Prepare the Fruit: In a separate bowl, gently fold together the diced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. For an added burst of texture, consider leaving a few pieces of fruit whole while mixing.

        Stuff the Peppers: Start filling each bell pepper with a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture. After that, add a layer of the mixed fruit on top, pressing down gently to ensure everything is packed nicely inside the pepper.

          Bake the Peppers: Carefully arrange the stuffed bell peppers upright in a baking dish. If any of the peppers are unstable, trim a small portion from the bottom to create a flat surface. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender yet still maintain their shape.

            Add Final Touches: Once baked, remove the bell peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Top each stuffed pepper with a generous sprinkle of granola for an extra crunch.

              Serve: For an appealing presentation, garnish your stuffed peppers with fresh mint leaves. For easier serving, cut each pepper in half and serve, allowing everyone to enjoy the colorful and flavorful stuffed fruit pizza bell peppers!
