Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll (about 16 ounces / 450 grams) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or whipped topping
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
- 1–2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
- Optional: raspberries or blackberries for extra red or blue accents
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Roll out the sugar cookie dough. Press it evenly into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle on the prepared pan, about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Chill dough 10 minutes if too sticky.
- Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden but center is slightly soft. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the cream cheese topping by beating 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and beat until fluffy and spreadable (2-3 minutes).
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the fruit in a flag pattern: place blueberries in the top left corner covering about one-third width and half height; create red stripes with sliced strawberries horizontally across the rest of the crust, alternating with kiwi slices for white stripes; fill white stripes carefully with kiwi slices. Optionally add raspberries or blackberries for color accents.
- Chill the assembled fruit pizza for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the topping and meld flavors.
Notes
Chill the cookie crust completely before spreading the cream cheese topping to prevent melting. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth spreading. Use fresh, firm fruit to avoid sogginess. Prepare cream cheese topping a day ahead if desired. Store covered in refrigerator up to 2 days; best eaten fresh.
