    We have many recipes for yummy 4th of July appetizers and 4th of July foods that help get you into the holiday spirit. Plus our 4th of July charcuterie board is full of red, white and blue sweets and savories. These are also great for other patriotic holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day or at one of these St George 4th of July Activities.

    Why you should make this recipe

    • This fruit pizza is a fun recipe your kids will love helping you make. My kids especially love helping with the berry flag on top and it makes a really fun and interactive edible activity for the family.
    • It is a great way to show your patriotic pride in a dessert and it makes a great July 4th party treat. It is naturally red, white, and blue using fruit instead of food dyes. The cream cheese layer makes this cookie pizza delectable and is a background of the American flag.

    Ingredients needed

    • Flour - We use gluten-free flour for this dessert; you can't tell a difference. You can use regular flour if you desire.
    • Butter - This perfect amount of butter here makes for a buttery and soft sugar cookie base. The key is to make sure the butter is softened slightly before mixing it. You can use a dairy-free option if you prefer.
    • Almond extract - Almond extract pairs well with fruit, enhancing the flavor of this patriotic fruit pizza. It is the secret ingredient in our sugar cookies that make them amazing! We have done it with just vanilla but the almond just makes it even better.
    • Fresh strawberries - You will need a pint of fresh strawberries to make this patriotic dessert. Slice them up so you can easily line them up to make the stripes on the American flag.
    • Fresh blackberries and blueberries - Make sure you have 16 blackberries aand 16 strawberries to alternate with blueberries for the star part of the fruit pizza.

    Ways to enjoy

    This fourth of July dessert pizza goes well with a summer charcuterie board and a gluten-free burger. They will be great at a fourth of July celebration. There is nothing better than a holiday party with incredible food.

    These 4th of July mocktails also pair well with this fruit pizza and tons of other 4th of July recipes. I particularly love this blue lagoon mocktail. The blue color is super patriotic. You can also try this non-alcoholic white sangria. The recipe calls for strawberries and blueberries, so it matches perfectly with this American flag fruit pizza.

    Ingredients
      

    Sugar Cookie Dough

    • 1 1/3 cups butter, softened
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon almond extract
    • 4 cups flour (I use King Arthur gluten-free flour)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder

    Frosting

    • 8 ounces cream cheese
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

    Topping

    • 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
    • 16 fresh blackberries
    • 16 fresh blueberries

    Instructions
     

    Sugar Cookie Dough

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
    • Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
    • Add vanilla and almond extracts then slowly add flour 1 cup at a time
    • Add salt and baking powder and mix until combined well
    • Spread and press into a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown
    • Cool completely, about 45 minutes

    Frosting

    • Beat cream cheese and butter until soft and fluffy about 1-2 minutes
    • Add vanilla and lemon juice and beat to combine
    • Add the powdered sugar and beat 2-3 more minutes until light and fluffy

    Notes

    Storage - Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature. Then, store it in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
    It is easier to store if you cut the pizza into individual slices. It will take up less space that way.
    Freezing - You can freeze the cookie dough for up to three months when it is wrapped in plastic wrap and sealed in an airtight container. Cream cheese frosting can also be frozen for up to three months.
    When ready to make the pizza, take the dough and frosting out of the freezer and put it in the fridge. I let it thaw out overnight.

      This recipe makes me feel good because it has fruit, so it’s healthy right? My whole family (and me) loved how tasty this recipe was. I’m going to make it again tomorrow!
