Ingredients

  • 16.5 ounce roll of refrigerated Pillsbury sugar cookie dough
  • 6 ounces cream cheese .. room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter .. room temperature
  • 1-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 lime .. zest only
  • dash of salt
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 1 flat fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 pint fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • To make this Red White and Blue Fruit Pizza, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and then let's start with your Pillsbury sugar cookie crust.  Spray a bit of non-stick spray on a 12" pizza pan and then add a sheet of parchment paper traced to fit the pizza pan shape and then spray the parchement paper with more of the non-stick spray.  The spray on the bottom keeps your parchment paper from sliding around too much while you prepare the crust and the spray on top keeps the sugar cookie crust from sticking.  Open up your roll of sugar cookie dough and start tearing off chunks of the raw cookie dough and dropping them on the pan until you have it all broken up. Using your hands, lightly and evenly press the cookie dough into the pan to make the crust.  Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned, remove and set aside to cool completely. 
  • While your crust is cooling, make your cream cheese frosting.  Add cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with the room temperature butter and cream until smooth and fluffy.  Add in sifted powdered sugar, a dash of salt, milk, vanilla extract and the zest of one lime.  Mix together until well incorporated and then move the refrigerator while your crust continues to cool. 
  • Once your sugar cookie crust has cooled completely, spread your cream cheese frosting over your crust and then decorate with fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries.  Serve immediatly and refrigerate any leftovers.

Notes

  • Don't forget to spray your parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray. This guarantees your sugar cookie crust will be perfect!
  • Be sure to rinse and completely dry your fresh fruit. Drying your fruit helps your fruit anchor down into your cream cheese base.
  • Cut your fruit approximately 1/8 of an inch thick.
  • Be sure to have enough fresh fruit on hand in case you run into pieces that are not ripe or past their prime.
  • Use any combination of fruit YOU like. This patriotic fruit pizza was done as an easy red, white and blue dessert idea but you can switch it up.
  • No joke, a pizza cutter is perfect for slicing up your dessert pizza.
