Red, White & Blue Fruit Pizza: An Easy Dessert Recipe For 4th Of July

The main difference between a fruit tart and a fruit pizza is the crust. A fruit tart has a crust similar to the pie that comes up over the edge whereas a fruit pizza is a round-shaped cookie that looks like a pizza. Both have fresh fruit on them and a thin icing or a thick frosting depending on what type of fruit dessert it is.

This fruit pizza is made for the fourth of July but most fruit pizzas are made round and on a pizza pan. Then you add fruit like berries, kiwi, mango, grapes, and mandarin oranges with frosting underneath.

Absolutely! You should always wash your fruit before consuming it, but it’s equally as important to dry them too. If not, the remaining liquid will cause your crust to get soggy and your frosting to become runny.

The easiest most effective way to do this is to use a pizza cutter! If you’re going to use a knife, make sure it’s sharp and wipe it off in between slices for cleaner cuts.

Th Of July Dessert: American Flag Fruit Cookie Dessert Pizza

And, as my daughter will tell you, it’s absolutely delicious.

The base, or “pizza crust”, is a great big sugar cookie made from refrigerated cookie dough (easy!). The creamy filling is a super simple no bake cheesecake mousse (yum!) and then the flag is created with fresh blueberries and raspberries.

I spread a little less than half of the cheesecake mousse on the cookie crust, then added the fruit. After that, I piped on the rest of the cheesecake mousse using a large star tip. I wasn’t sure if it would be hard to make it look cute since I don’t do a lot of cake or cookie decorating, but it was super easy! I found a Wilton cupcake decorating kit at Walmart for $4 and used the star tip that came with it. You can see how I did this in the video below the recipe card.

If you don’t want to mess with piping, you could just spread all the mousse on the crust before topping with the fruit.

I used a 12 inch pizza pan from the dollar store, and found it was easiest to press the dough into it if I cut the dough into 1/4 inch slices first, then laid the slices out over the pan.

NOTE: If you’d like to have a cookie star to place on top of the blueberries, make sure to reserve one slice and cook it separately (I just stuck it in the oven on a piece of aluminum foil next to the pizza pan – it cooked a few minutes faster than the cookie crust). I used a star cookie cutter on it AFTER it was cooked to cut out the shape.

After you bake the cookie, allow it to cool completely. This will take about an hour if you put it into the fridge. Then you can mix up the cheesecake mousse and spread a little less than half of it onto the cookie crust. Then it’s time to top it with berries!

Be sure to keep the flag fruit pizza in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. I kept it in my fridge uncovered because I couldn’t figure out how to cover it without smooshing the piped cream. It looked and tasted great the next day as well, but I wouldn’t keep it much longer than that because raspberries have a pretty short shelf life.
