4th of July Fruit Pizza is a dessert pizza on a large sugar cookie decorated red, white and blue with strawberries, blueberries, and a cream cheese frosting.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a 12-inch pizza pan (preferably with a lip) by spraying it with cooking spray.
Take sugar cookie dough and tear into 8-10 pieces. Spread pieces onto pizza pan and then press them into the pan to create one even layer of cookie dough crust. Leave a 1 inch gap from the edges for spreading.
Bake in the oven for 13-15 minutes or until it’s lightly golden and doesn’t have any more shine to the dough. Remove and set aside to let cool completely.
Beat the cream cheese and salted butter together until smooth and combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Mix in the powdered sugar, heavy cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat for three minutes on high, or until frosting is light and fluffy.
Frost the cooled cookie with cream cheese frosting.
Top with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream, optional.
Cut into 8 equal slices (like a pizza) and serve.
Notes
If you do not have a pizza pan with a lip, such as a deep dish pan, I highly recommend placing a larger baking sheet on a lower rack under the the pizza pan as the cookie bakes. This will prevent any dough that spills over from burning in the oven.
