A quick and easy patriotic dessert featuring a sugar cookie crust topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit arranged like the American flag. Perfect for Fourth of July celebrations and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 refrigerated sugar cookie dough (about 16 oz / 450 g)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (125 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 medium bananas, peeled and sliced into rounds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated sugar cookie dough gently onto the pan. Press it out evenly to cover the surface, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  3. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft. Prick any bubbles with a fork.
  4. Cool the crust completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. Thin with milk or cream if needed.
  6. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust using a spatula.
  7. Arrange the fruit to form the flag design: place a rectangle of blueberries in the top left corner covering about a quarter of the pizza surface, then alternate horizontal stripes of sliced strawberries and banana rounds across the rest of the pizza.
  8. Chill the fruit pizza in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cool the crust completely before frosting to prevent melting. Chill the assembled pizza for at least 30 minutes to firm the frosting and improve slicing. Pat sliced bananas dry to reduce moisture and prevent soggy crust. Use lemon juice on bananas to prevent browning. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as suggested.
