    Red, White, and Blue Fruit Pizza

    Don’t you just love a Patriotic celebration? BBQ foods, music, gatherings, fireworks, and more! Adding Patriotic themed dishes into the occasion is always a hit, which is why I love making this Fourth of July fruit pizza, strawberries, and my Red, White, and Blue Jello Trifle for any occasion such as Labor Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, and more!

    Plus, since Summer is berry season, it works out perfect because you can use up those fresh blueberries and strawberries!

    What is Dessert Pizza?

    When you think of pizza, you most likely think of crust, red sauce, cheese, and toppings! Well, dessert pizza is very similar in the fact it has a crust, sauce, and toppings, only it comes in the form of sugar cookie dough, cream cheese frosting as the sauce, and the toppings are fresh fruit medleys of your choosing.

    Of course, you can change up the dessert pizza to fit your tastes such as using chocolate chip cookie dough in place of the sugar cookie, or using white frosting in place of cream cheese, so many different variations that result in an incredible “pizza”.

    Why this Flag Fruit Pizza is the best!

    • Quick and Easy– using store bought sugar cookie dough, this can be prepped in no time!
    • Flavor Packed– soft and tender crust, with a creamy topping, and fresh fruit, the ultimate flavor combinations!
    • Adaptable for any occasion– using different fruits, this can be color coordinated to fit any Holiday or occasion!
    • Feeds as many as needed– being baked in a cookie sheet, you can cut the pieces to feed as many (or as little) as needed.

    Ingredients needed for Red, White, and Blue Fruit Pizza

    See printable recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts and step by step directions.

    • Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough– 2 tubes, softened
    • Cream Cheese– allow to soften a bit
    • Sugar– this combines with the cream cheese for a sweet, creamy frosting
    • Assorted Fruit– sliced

    How to make Fourth of July Fruit Pizza

    1. Spread dough out evenly (about 1/4 inch thick) on prepared cookie sheet.
    2. Bake at 350 degrees until golden brown. Let cool completely.
    3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
    4. Spread over cooled cookie.
    5. Top with assorted fruit slices. Chill in fridge.

    Pro Tips for the best Red, White, and Blue Fruit Pizza

    • Be sure to grease/spray your cookie sheet to ensure none of the pieces stick to the pan when serving.
    • Wash/dry your fresh fruit and cut into evenly sliced pieces.
    • For easier slicing, use a pizza cutter.
    • Have fun with the fruit combinations. If you have a favorite fruit, use it! You can’t go wrong with any combination!
    • Make sure the cookie crust is fully cooled before spreading the cream cheese frosting otherwise it will melt the frosting and result in a messy result.

    How to store 4th of July Fruit Pizza

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not keep out at room temperature for too long as this has cream cheese frosting and I wouldn’t risk it. As for freezing, I haven’t had great results freezing it in the past, so I recommend enjoying it within 3 days of preparing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make this Red, White, and Blue Fruit Pizza ahead of time?

    Absolutely, however, I recommend only making parts of this recipe ahead of time and assembling when ready to serving. Cook the cookie crust up to 1 day in advance and cover/store in refrigerator. Slice fruit and store in a covered bowl. When ready to assemble, simply prepare as directed.

    How do I prevent my fruit pizza from getting soggy?

    Try to avoid assembling this fruit pizza any earlier than 2 hours ahead of when it will be served. The juices from the berries tend to soak into the crust making things a bit soggy. If assembled and served within a few hours, it will be great. Even if its been several hours, or even 1 or 2 days, it will taste great, just will be a bit softer.

    Can I use homemade sugar cookie dough in place of the store bought Pillsbury cookie dough?

    Absolutely! When I am not short on time, I love to make homemade sugar cookies. Try this yummy recipe if interested!

    What fruits can I use in place of just the blueberries and strawberries?

    The sky is the limit on this one! If you’re not trying to use just red and blue patriotic fruit, you can use blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, banana slices, kiwi, grapes sliced in half, and more! I haven’t had good luck with apples as they turn brown way too fast, but if you’re in the mood, it works too!
