A quick and easy dessert featuring a buttery sugar cookie crust topped with creamy cream cheese frosting and fresh patriotic fruits, perfect for summer parties and Fourth of July celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tube (about 16 ounces) sugar cookie dough
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large kiwi, peeled and sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the sugar cookie dough and press it evenly into the pan to about ¼-inch thickness, smoothing the surface.
  3. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes until edges are light golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.
  4. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  6. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined and fluffy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  8. Arrange the sliced strawberries in rows or circular patterns for red stripes, blueberries for the blue corner, and fill remaining spaces with whipped cream and optional fruits like kiwi or raspberries.
  9. Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the topping and meld flavors.
  10. Slice into wedges with a sharp serrated knife and serve chilled.

Notes

Chill the crust completely before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting and sliding. Pat fruit dry before arranging to avoid sogginess. Use a serrated knife for clean slices. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; re-crisp crust in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes if softened.
