minutesThis recipe is my absolute favorite for any patriotic summertime dessert. Growing up, one of my mom’s go-to, favorite desserts to make was her famous fruit pizza! She would make it all summer long, but always put a patriotic spin on it around 4th of July & Memorial Day. It’s a crowd favorite (I’m serious, I’ve never met someone who doesn’t LOVE this recipe!), it’s so easy to make, it’s beautiful, and you can get creative with it depending on the occasion! Incorporating red & blue fruit on top of the white frosting makes it the perfect patriotic dessert.
Ingredients
1-2 rolls Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 block cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup fat-free cool whip
red & blue fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray pizza pan with cooking spray.
- Break up cookie dough in pan; press dough evenly in bottom of pan, covering the entire pan (like a pizza crust!) Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Bake dough/crust 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack.
- In small bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, cool whip and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Spread mixture over cooled crust.
