A quick, festive, and easy-to-make patriotic fruit pizza featuring a buttery sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy whipped cream cheese layer and fresh fruit arranged like the American flag. Perfect for summer celebrations and crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 roll (16 oz / 450 g) store-bought sugar cookie dough
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • 1–2 medium kiwis, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Unroll the sugar cookie dough onto a parchment-lined 12-inch (30 cm) baking sheet or pizza pan. Press gently into a 12-inch circle with slightly raised edges.
  3. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden and set but still soft in the center. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Wash and slice the fruit: hull and slice strawberries thinly, peel and slice kiwis, and pat blueberries dry. Toss fruit lightly with lemon juice.
  6. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  7. Arrange the fruit on top in a pattern resembling the American flag: blueberries in the corner, stripes of strawberries and kiwi slices.
  8. Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother whipping. Sift powdered sugar to avoid lumps. Pat fruit dry to prevent soggy crust. Chill the pizza before slicing to set the cream cheese layer and keep slices neat. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute cream cheese and cookie dough accordingly.
