    Fruit Pizza

    Sitting here thinking how we have come up with ways to make pizza out of just about everything and how there is no pizza that I dislike. Veggie pizza=good, regular pepperoni pizza=great, fruit pizza=VERY FESTIVE AND VERY GOOD.

    An easy red white and blue fruit pizza with homemade sugar cookie crust, cream cheese frosting, that’s topped with glazed strawberries and blueberries. A crowd-pleasing patriotic dessert that’s perfect for 4th of July cookouts!

    Truly, my favorite 4th of July food. A winner in both the taste bud and patriotism categories. Sugar cookie crust, cream cheese frosting, all the fresh berries. I hoover this.

    Sugar cookie crust is homemade here. Buying the tubes is my preferred method, but because Aldi doesn't carry sugar cookie dough, we are making our own. It is not hard!

    Cookie crust however you make it gets smeared with cream cheese frosting and topped with berries. Berries that have been tossed in a lemon glaze, which takes this slightly into tart territory. It's like a festive, low-key dessert that's sort of fancy and dressed to impress at the same time.

    And also, while I very strongly LOVE the USA flag design of a lot of fruit pizzas, I don't like having to decide whether I am a blueberry person or a strawberry person when eating. Here, they are all combined and difficult decision-making can be postponed.
