American Flag Fruit Pizza
A colorful and festive dessert that transforms a classic sugar cookie crust into a patriotic treat topped with fresh fruits, perfect for summer celebrations.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 tube Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (16.5 oz)
For the creamy topping
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened) Ensure it is softened for smoother mixing.
- 2/3 cup Sugar Can adjust to taste.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Add for flavor.
- 8 oz Whipped Topping (thawed)
For the fruit topping
- 12 oz Fresh Raspberries (3 to 4 cups) Wash and dry thoroughly.
- 1 dry pint Fresh Blueberries (about 2 cups) Wash and dry thoroughly.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Open tube of cookie dough and slice into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Place cookie dough slices on a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan and press into an even layer.
- Bake cookie crust for 11-12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool. Meanwhile, wash and dry the berries.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Beat in half the whipped topping, then fold in the remaining whipped topping.
Assembly
- Scoop a little less than half of the cream cheese mixture onto the cookie crust and spread it all the way to the edges.
- Use blueberries to outline the pizza and create the blue portion of the flag, and top with the star cookie (if made).
- Use raspberries to create seven red stripes.
- Use the rest of the cream cheese mixture to pipe the white stripes.
- Keep in fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
Serve chilled for best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assemble shortly before serving to maintain texture.
