A quick and easy patriotic dessert featuring a buttery sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy vanilla cream cheese layer and fresh red, white, and blue berries. Perfect for 4th of July and summer parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 roll sugar cookie dough (refrigerated or pre-made, about 16 oz)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Fresh whipped cream (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper if using.
  2. Unroll the sugar cookie dough and press it evenly into the pan, forming a thin, flat circle or rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges turn lightly golden. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
  6. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in red, white, and blue patterns on top of the cream cheese layer.
  7. Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  8. Optional: Just before serving, garnish with fresh whipped cream rosettes around the edges. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

Chill the cookie crust completely before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent melting or sliding. Whip the cream to soft peaks for best texture. Handle fruit gently to avoid bruising. The assembled pizza holds well in the fridge for several hours. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, swap ingredients accordingly.
