Description
This American Flag Fruit Pizza is a festive and easy dessert featuring a sugar cookie crust, creamy cheesecake mousse, and a patriotic berry arrangement, perfect for summer celebrations like the Fourth of July.
Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice sugar cookie dough into ¼-inch rounds and press into a greased 12-inch pizza pan to form an even layer.
- Bake for 11–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Wash and dry the raspberries and blueberries.
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping to create the mousse.
- Spread half of the mousse over the cooled crust.
- Arrange blueberries in the top-left corner and raspberries in rows to form the flag design.
- Pipe or spoon the remaining mousse between raspberry rows to form white stripes.
- Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure berries are fully dry to prevent sogginess.
- Use a homemade sugar cookie crust for a personal touch.
- Lemon zest or almond extract can enhance flavor.
- Serve chilled and consume within 24 hours for best results.
- A zip-top bag with a snipped corner works as a piping bag substitute.
