American Flag Fruit Pizza (Printable Version)

Sugar cookie base with cream cheese frosting, topped with blueberries, strawberries and banana slices for a patriotic centerpiece.

# What You Need:

→ Cookie Crust

01 - 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

→ Cream Cheese Frosting

02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruit Topping

06 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
07 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
08 - 2 bananas, sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.
02 - Press sugar cookie dough evenly onto an ungreased 13x9 inch baking sheet or rectangular pizza pan to form the crust.
03 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow crust to cool completely.
04 - In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until mixture is smooth and creamy.
05 - Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the entire cooled cookie crust.
06 - Arrange blueberries in the upper left corner of the frosted crust to create the flag's blue 'star' field.
07 - Alternately arrange rows of sliced strawberries and banana slices across the rest of the pizza to form red and white stripes.
08 - Chill assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like a party centerpiece disguised as an easy bake—you’ll look like a genius with minimal effort.
  • Every bite balances pillowy cookie, tangy frosting, and juicy fruit, which means there’s something here for everyone at the table.
02 -
  • If you frost a warm crust, the topping will slide away and leave you with a sticky puddle.
  • Slicing bananas last, right before assembling, means your stripes stay fresh and look cheerful rather than turning brown.
03 -
  • Always pat berries dry so you avoid runny juice stains across your stripes.
  • A thin honey glaze brushed over finished fruit keeps everything glossy and picture-perfect at the table.
