A simple, colorful, and crowd-pleasing fruit pizza on a soft sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy cream cheese mixture and fresh red, white, and blue fruits. Perfect for summer gatherings and 4th of July celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • Flour for dusting
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries or blackberries (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the refrigerated cookie dough from the package and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
  3. Lightly dust your surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll the dough into a roughly 12-inch circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Transfer the rolled dough to your prepared baking sheet using the parchment paper.
  5. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and center is set but not too brown.
  6. Cool the crust completely on the pan for about 20 minutes.
  7. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Fold in the heavy cream or whipped topping gently until combined and fluffy.
  9. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  10. Arrange the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries decoratively on top.
  11. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
  12. Refrigerate the fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the topping set.

Notes

Cool the cookie crust completely before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting and sliding. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for cleaner slices. You can bake the crust a day ahead and assemble fruit just before serving. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, substitute ingredients accordingly.
