This Easy American Flag Fruit Pizza is a festive and delicious dessert perfect for summer celebrations. A sugar cookie crust serves as the base, topped with a creamy sweetened cream cheese spread and decorated with fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, and bananas arranged to resemble the American flag. It’s simple to prepare, visually impressive, and a refreshing treat for parties or holidays like the Fourth of July.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 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°F (175°C) 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 to form a large rectangle. This will act as the pizza base.
  3. Bake Crust: Bake the cookie dough in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding toppings.
  4. Make Cream Cheese Spread: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This sweet mixture will be the “sauce” for the fruit pizza.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled cookie crust, ensuring a smooth, uniform layer.
  6. Decorate with Fruit: Arrange the blueberries in the top-left corner of the pizza to represent the stars of the American flag. Then, alternate rows of sliced strawberries and banana slices to form the red and white stripes across the rest of the pizza.
  7. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to serve. Slice into portions and enjoy this patriotic dessert.

Notes

  • For longer-lasting toppings, substitute banana slices with mini marshmallows to maintain visual appeal without browning.
  • Make sure the cookie crust is completely cooled before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
  • This recipe can be customized with any fresh berries or fruits according to preference.
  • Store leftover fruit pizza covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
