A festive and easy-to-make fruit pizza featuring a buttery sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy filling and fresh red, white, and blue fruits, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 16 oz) sugar cookie dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup kiwi slices (optional)
  • 1/2 cup raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the sugar cookie dough onto a 12-inch round pizza pan or baking sheet, pressing gently to form a uniform 1/4 inch thick circle.
  3. Bake the crust for 15-18 minutes until golden around the edges and set in the middle. Watch closely after 12 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  4. Cool the crust completely on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully combined.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Arrange sliced strawberries in a ring near the outer edge, then add blueberries inside that ring. Scatter kiwi slices and raspberries in the center or in a patriotic pattern if using.
  9. Refrigerate the assembled fruit pizza for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and filling firm up.
  10. Slice into wedges and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Cool the crust completely before spreading the cream cheese filling to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth topping. Pat fruit dry if extra juicy to keep crust crisp. Chilling the cream cheese mixture before spreading helps it hold shape better. For extra shine, brush fruit with warmed apricot jam or honey.
