Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or your favorite dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut cream (chilled overnight)
  • 4 oz dairy-free cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white grapes, halved or white-fleshed kiwi slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms; add more almond milk if too dry.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the pan, slightly up the sides, smoothing the surface.
  4. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and set. Press down gently if it puffs up. Cool completely on a cooling rack.
  5. Scoop chilled coconut cream into a medium bowl and whip with a mixer until fluffy peaks form (3-5 minutes). Add dairy-free cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness if desired.
  6. Spread the cream layer evenly over the cooled crust.
  7. Arrange the fruit in a star-spangled pattern: blueberries in the top left corner, alternating rows of sliced strawberries and white grapes or kiwi slices for stripes.
  8. Chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill coconut cream overnight for best whipping results. Use firm, fresh berries or thaw frozen berries and pat dry to avoid soggy crust. The assembled pizza should be chilled at least 30 minutes before serving to set the cream layer. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend. If coconut cream doesn’t whip well, fold in dairy-free yogurt. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days but avoid freezing.
