A quick and easy festive fruit pizza featuring a tender sugar cookie crust, creamy vanilla cream cheese topping, and fresh red, white, and blue berries. Perfect for patriotic holidays or any summer celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 16 oz / 450 g) sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup (150 g) raspberries, gently rinsed
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, light dusting of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Transfer to a 9-10 inch round pizza pan, pressing evenly to cover the base and gently pushing dough slightly up the sides to form a shallow crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until light golden around edges and firm but tender in the center. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add heavy cream or milk tablespoon by tablespoon if desired for a silkier texture.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Arrange the fruit starting with blueberries in a circle near the crust edge, then create stripes or clusters of sliced strawberries and raspberries toward the center to form the red and white pattern.
  7. Optionally garnish with fresh mint leaves and dust lightly with powdered sugar.
  8. Chill the fruit pizza for 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors and firm the cream cheese layer. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Let the sugar cookie crust cool completely before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting and sogginess. Use fresh, dry fruit and blot excess juice if needed. Softened cream cheese at room temperature blends best. Assemble fruit just before serving if possible, especially on warm days.
