Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch sugar cookie dough (about 12 oz or 340 g), store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp (30–45 ml) heavy cream or milk (dairy-free milk for vegan option)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Zest of one lemon (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves or light dusting of powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Unroll or press the sugar cookie dough into a roughly 12-inch (30 cm) circle on the prepared pan, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
  3. Bake the cookie crust for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft.
  4. Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add lemon zest if using. If too thick, stir in heavy cream or milk one tablespoon at a time until spreadable.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the warm cookie crust to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness.
  7. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries in a red, white, and blue pattern on top of the cream cheese layer.
  8. Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the cream cheese and meld flavors.
  9. Slice with a sharp knife and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Underbake the cookie crust slightly to keep it tender and sliceable. Spread the cream cheese mixture while the crust is still warm for a luscious finish. Pat frozen berries dry to avoid sogginess. Chill the assembled pizza before serving for best texture and flavor.
