A festive and colorful American Flag Fruit Pizza featuring a soft sugar cookie crust topped with creamy sweetened cream cheese and fresh blueberries, strawberries, and banana slices for a patriotic dessert that's perfect for celebrations.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Topping

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup banana slices (or mini marshmallows for a longer-lasting option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cookie crust.
  2. Prepare Cookie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated sugar cookie dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a large rectangle suitable for the fruit topping.
  3. Bake Crust: Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until it becomes golden brown, then remove and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
  4. Make Cream Cheese Topping: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Spread Topping: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust creating a smooth layer.
  6. Arrange Fruit: Place blueberries in the top-left corner to represent stars, then create alternating rows of sliced strawberries and banana slices across the pizza to resemble the red and white stripes of the American flag.
  7. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy this patriotic dessert!

Notes

  • Use mini marshmallows instead of bananas for a sweeter topping that holds longer without browning.
  • Make sure the cookie crust is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
  • Fresh fruit should be patted dry to avoid adding excess moisture to the topping.
  • This fruit pizza is best served within a few hours of assembly for optimal freshness.
