A festive and colorful dessert featuring a sugar cookie crust, creamy topping, and fresh fruit arranged to resemble a flag. Perfect for patriotic celebrations!
On a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, roll out the sugar cookie dough into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Alternatively, press the dough evenly into a rectangular baking pan.
Bake the sugar cookie crust for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, creating a smooth base for your fruit toppings.
Arrange the fruit to resemble a flag: use blueberries in the top left corner to represent stars, and alternate rows of sliced strawberries and pineapple or bananas to create the stripes.
Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve!
Notes
Feel free to substitute other fruits for additional colors or flavors. For example, raspberries can replace strawberries, or kiwi can be used instead of pineapple.
