Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sugar Cookie Crust

  • 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Fruit Topping

  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugar Cookie Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and blend until well incorporated.
  3. Frost the Cooled Crust: Once the crust has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top, reaching to all edges and corners of the pan.
  4. Create the Flag Design with Fruit: In the top left corner, arrange blueberries in a small rectangle to form the ‘stars.’ Then, use rows of sliced strawberries and raspberries to create the ‘stripes’ across the rest of the pizza. Alternate the red berries to mimic the flag’s design.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 1 hour to set the frosting and flavors. Cut into bars or squares and serve chilled for best results.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap in blackberries or other fruits if desired for the flag colors.
  • For ease, line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner slicing.
  • Best served the same day or within 24 hours for freshest texture and appearance.
