Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

For the Cookie Crust

  • 1 package (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

For the Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Mini marshmallows or whipped cream for stars (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Bake the crust: Press the sugar cookie dough into a greased 12-inch pizza pan or round baking pan. Bake according to package directions until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  2. Prepare the frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Frost the pizza: Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust using an offset spatula.
  4. Create the flag design: Arrange blueberries in the upper left corner to represent the stars. Place sliced strawberries in horizontal rows across the remaining pizza, leaving thin white frosting lines between each row to resemble the American flag.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh mint or whipped cream if desired, then serve chilled.

Notes

Pat the berries dry before decorating to keep the frosting from becoming watery. Assemble the dessert pizza a few hours before serving for the freshest appearance. You can also use raspberries or cherries to add more vibrant red color.
