Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 electric hand mixer
- 1 cookie sheet or pie pan
Ingredients
- 16 ounce Pillsbury sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounce cream cheese, soften
- 10 ounce tub of whipped cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- fresh strawberries
- fresh blue berries
- handful of white chocolate chips ( Optional )
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with non stick cooking spray. This should give you the best baking results so the crust doesn't stick
- Press sugar cookie dough into the shape you want. I did a rectangle so it will look like a flag when it is done. Try to press as evenly as possible.
- Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown. If you over cook it, it will be very crunchy. Some people like that and that is okay too.
- While the crust is baking, wash your fruit and cut what needs to be cut. I cut my strawberries into strips so they could easily make the stripes of the flag.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl you want to beat your cream cheese until it is smooth
- Next you want to add your vanilla, powdered sugar and whipped cream topping. Beat with the electric mixer until it is all smooth and mixed together.
- Once your sugar cookie crust as cooled completely, you want to spread your cream cheese mixture on top of crust.
- Then you will make your flag design. I started with forming the blue berries into a square in the top left corner.
- Then you make your red stripes with the strawberries all down the fruit pizza.
- Finish it off with the white chocolate stars if you are using those.
- Serve as soon as possible or refrigerate if you are not serving for a while.
- This can easily serve 8 to 10 people
