The perfect sugar cookie fruit pizza for the 4th of July. Use refrigerated sugar cookie dough, cream cheese frosting and red and blue fruit for the perfect fruit pizza.
8ozStrawberries *or more as desired -any red fruit works - raspberries are delicious too- do not use frozen fruit
8ozBlueberries*or more as desired
16ozCream Cheese Frosting - see below for link for my recipe*use more or less to your liking
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° and grease your pizza pan.
Press sugar cookie dough evenly on to the pizza pan. Make sure to leave a little bit of an edge around the pan (don't press the dough to the edge). Leave about 1/2 inch space because the dough will spread as it bakes.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the middle is set, the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center. Let the cookie cool completely before frosting.
While the cookie cools, make your frosting and slice or cut your strawberries to your liking. See link below for Cream Cheese Frosting recipe.
Once the cookie has cooled, frost the cookie and then place the fruit in any design desired. (I like the look of the fruit scattered but you can do a simple pattern to make it look "prettier").*You can make this cookie pizza the day before and it will be great - just do not add the fruit until you are ready to serve.
Let the pizza chill in the fridge for at least an hour after frosted and topped with fruit (I like it chilled for longer). Cut and serve!This will give you 8 slices that are pretty good size bit you can cut them smaller to feed more!
Keep any leftovers in the fridge. It will be good for about 3 days!
Notes
If you are using a 12” pizza pan use only one roll of sugar cookie dough.For the frosting, I make my delicious Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting. If you want a lot of frosting you can make 1 1/2 of this recipe or double it.This tastes so delicious if chilled for a while or even overnight. It is perfect to make ahead and frost it, and then chill it overnight or until serving time. You can place the fruit on the pizza at the last minute if you are worried about the fruit colors bleeding on to the white frosting. I have found that even the fruit being on the pizza and placed in the fridge overnight my fruit hasn't bled much color on the pizza... but do whatever you feel is best- but trust me it is best nice and chilled- especially if you have a lot frosting on it!The fruit can be changed out for any occasion. You don't have to stick with red and blur. Pineapple, kiwi, bananas and grapes are delicious on this!
