How to make American Flag Fruit Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 tube Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough (16.5 oz)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
• 2/3 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 8 oz Whipped Topping (thawed)
• 12 oz Fresh Raspberries (3 to 4 cups)
• 1 dry pint Fresh Blueberries (about 2 cups)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Open the tube of cookie dough and slice it into 1/4 inch pieces.
3. Place the cookie dough slices on a lightly greased 12 inch pizza pan and press them into an even layer. If you like, you can reserve one slice of dough to bake separately using a cookie cutter to make a star.
4. Bake the cookie crust for 11-12 minutes until it is lightly browned. Let it cool. In the meantime, wash and dry the berries.
5. In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Then, beat in half of the whipped topping. Fold in the remaining whipped topping.
6. Scoop a little less than half of the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled cookie crust and spread it all the way to the edges.
7. Use blueberries to outline the pizza and create the blue portion of the flag, placing the star cookie if you made one.
8. Next, use raspberries to create seven red stripes across the pizza.
9. Finally, pipe the rest of the cream cheese mixture to make the white stripes.
10. Keep the pizza in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
