Description
A festive and delicious Red, White, and Blue Fruit Pizza perfect for celebrations.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup bananas, sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pizza pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
- In a separate bowl, toss the sliced bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and bananas on top of the cream cheese layer in a decorative pattern.
- Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled treat.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider drizzling honey or chocolate sauce over the fruit before serving.
- You can substitute the cream cheese with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of edible glitter or star-shaped fruit cutouts.
