Yesterday, I shared our Star-Spangled Fruit Pizza.  Today, I wanted to share our Flag Fruit Pizza Recipe.  This was a great cooking project for/with the kids!

Fourth of July Dessert:  Flag Fruit Pizza Recipe

Supplies:

• 9″x13″ pan or other rectangular-shaped pan
• Mixing bowl
• Knife
• Roll of sugar cookie dough (I just bought a roll from the store, because I was running out of time)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 package of cream cheese
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Blueberries
• Strawberries

1)  Cut the roll of sugar cookie dough into 1/4 inch slices.  Place in the pan and *smash* them together to cover the bottom of the pan.  You could also try to roll out the sugar cookie dough, but this *smash*ing method worked best for us!  🙂

2)  Bake according to package directions.  Allow to cool COMPLETELY.

3)  Using a mixer, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy and smooth.  Spread on the cookie crust.

4)  Make a rectangle filled with blueberries at the top left-hand corner.

5)  Slice strawberries into quarters and place in a row to make lines for your flag.

We were running low on strawberries, so I had to cut some of them into 1/8ths (you can see the ones at the top)!!  I think they look much better when cut into quarters or even halves if you have enough strawberries.
