Red, White & Blue Fruit Pizza Recipe

Yields: 12 servings

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Chill Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

1 – 8 oz. package of cream cheese

1 – 16.5 oz package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough

¼ cup sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2.5 cups of your favorite fruits (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries shown below)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cover a pizza pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray, and set aside.
2. Remove sugar cookie dough from the refrigerator and (using your hands) form into a round ball. Place the dough in the center of the prepared pizza pan and begin pressing the dough outward towards the edges. Continue working the dough until there is an even layer covering the pizza pan.
3. Bake for 14 minutes or until edges are a golden brown. It’s very important to allow the dough to completely cool before moving on to the next step.
4. Once cooled, invert the cookie dough onto a large plate or platter. Slowly remove the foil, being careful not to crack the crust. Once the foil is removed, turn the crust over on the plate or platter.
5. To make the frosting, combine cream cheese, sugar, and frosting in a mixer. Beat until well blended, then spread onto the crust in a thin, even layer.
6. Top the pizza with your favorite combination of fruit or berries, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
