Ingredients Needed for Patriotic Fruit Pizza — *All the yummy ingredients!*

Make The Sugar Cookie Crust

This recipe is so simple and easy but you do need to divide into two parts. First, you need to make the crust. And then, you need to make the cream cheese filling.

So while the crust bakes, you can make the filling mixture. It really doesn’t take long at all and the longest part is just waiting for the crust to cool.

To make the crust, you just need to slice the pre-made cookie dough into rounds. Then, spread it around on a greased pizza pan or cookie sheet and flatten it out evenly.

After you have flattened it out, you can then bake crust it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. You want it to be a nice golden brown when you take it out of the oven. That way you get a delicious chewy cookie crust for the pizza!

Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

After you bake your sugar cookie crust for the patriotic fruit pizza, you need to let it cool completely. While it is doing that, you can then make the cream cheese mixture that goes on top of the pizza.

Simply combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. You can use a an electric hand mixer or a regular electric mixer for this.

Then, add in half of the whipped cream topping and mix well. Fold in the remaining whipped topping and viola! It is done! it creates a delicious and creamy frosting that pairs perfectly with the sugar cookie base!

Once you have mixed it all together, you can then spread about half of the mixture onto the cooled crust in an even layer. You can save the rest of it to pipe in white stripes for the flag.

Cream Cheese Filling — *Here you can see about half the cream cheese mixture is on the pizza and the rest is saved for piping the white stripes*.

Assemble the Patriotic Fruit Pizza

Now you just need to assemble the patriotic fruit pizza in a flag pattern! I just did the outline in blueberries and then the corner of the flag too. I used a star cookie cutter to place blueberries around the area.

That way, when I took it out, you could see a star shape. I then just alternated between strawberries and raspberries for the stripes.

After I added in all the fruit, I went back and piped in more of the cream cheese mixture for the white stripes. And that was it! You can see how it made a perfect red, white, and blue fruit pizza by alternating all the fresh berries!

I placed it in the fridge for a few hours before serving and set it out at room temperature to serve! You can also store any leftovers in an airtight container as well.

Enjoy Your Fruit Pizza

After it is chilled, you can then serve it and enjoy it! I absolutely love fruit pizza and can eat it anytime, but I do think it is the perfect dessert, especially for Independence Day.

It’s the perfect American flag fruit pizza and it is definitely one of my favorite 4th of July desserts to bring to a party or get together!
