Why This Fruit Pizza Is a Crowd-Pleaser

The combination of sweet and tangy cream cheese topped with juicy, fresh fruit makes each bite refreshing and irresistible. Plus, this dessert is customizable—choose your favorite fruits and make a fun, edible centerpiece everyone will remember.

Making a Perfect Sugar Cookie Crust

Start by preparing a soft, thick sugar cookie base. You can use a homemade dough or a store-bought version for convenience. Simply press the dough evenly into a standard pizza pan lined with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. This not only prevents sticking but also makes for easy cleanup after your celebration.

Bake until lightly golden, then allow it to cool completely before adding your toppings.

Preparing Whipped Cream Cheese Topping

The magic of this recipe lies in the creamy spread that sits atop the cookie crust. Beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a dash of vanilla until smooth and fluffy. For an extra silky texture, use a high-powered Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender to blend everything together quickly and evenly.

Spread the topping generously over the cooled crust to create a perfect canvas for your fruit design.

Arranging the Flag with Fresh Fruit

This is where your fruit pizza becomes a showstopper! For the classic flag look, use fresh blueberries for the stars section and rows of sliced strawberries and bananas for the stripes. A tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper can help you achieve perfect, uniform slices and fast prep.

Arrange the blueberries in the upper corner, then alternate your strawberry and banana slices to mimic the American flag’s stripes.

Serving & Storing Your American Flag Fruit Pizza

For a festive touch at your gathering, place your finished fruit pizza on a table covered with a crisp Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White. This keeps your display clean and patriotic.

Cut the pizza into squares or wedges just before serving. If you have leftovers, store them in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to maintain freshness for up to 2 days.
