Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • Sugar cookie dough 1 tube or homemade equivalent: Forms the crunchy base of the pizza.
  • Cream cheese 8 oz, softened: Creates the smooth, tangy layer on top of the cookie crust.
  • Powdered sugar 1/4 cup: Sweetens the cream cheese mixture.
  • Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon: Adds a rich depth of flavor to the cream cheese layer.
  • Strawberries 1 cup, sliced: Brings vibrant red color and a juicy, sweet flavor.
  • Blueberries 1 cup: Adds a burst of blue color and tangy sweetness.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowl for the cream cheese layer
  • Cookie sheet for baking the crust
  • Spoon or spatula for spreading the cream cheese
  • Knife for cutting the fruit

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), or follow the instructions on the package for the cookie dough you are using.
  2. Roll out the sugar cookie dough on a cookie sheet and bake according to package instructions (or follow your homemade dough recipe).
  3. Once baked, let the cookie crust cool completely in the baking dish, about 15-20 minutes, to avoid melting the cream cheese layer.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire cooled cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean look.
  6. Arrange the sliced strawberries in the top left corner of the pizza, covering about one-quarter of the surface to represent the flag’s blue canton.
  7. Arrange the blueberries in the opposite corner of the flag.
  8. Optional: Add small pieces of other fruits like kiwi or blackberries to decorate.
  9. Slice the fruit pizza into squares and serve chilled.
  10. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired for a refreshing touch.
  11. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
