Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?

Oh honey, I don't recommend it. Frozen fruit releases way too much water as it thaws, turning your beautiful mini pizzas into soggy messes. Been there, done that - they ended up looking like little fruit puddles. Fresh is definitely the way to go for that perfect bite.

Can I make these vegan?

Absolutely, I've had great success using dairy-free cream cheese (the coconut-based ones work surprisingly well) and vegan sugar cookie dough. Just check labels carefully - some premade doughs contain eggs or dairy. For the sugar, regular granulated is usually vegan, but when in doubt, organic is your safest bet.

How far in advance can I assemble these?

The sweet spot is about 6 hours before serving if you're adding all the fruit. Here's my trick: you can prep the cookie bases and cream cheese a full day ahead, then add the fruit the morning of your event. Anything longer than that and the fruit starts to weep - learned that lesson the hard way at a baby shower.
