Easy 4th of July Fruit Pizza

I always look forward to making this 4th of July Fruit Pizza once summer berries are at their peak. There’s something so satisfying about combining a soft, buttery sugar cookie crust with a light, creamy topping and fresh, juicy fruit.  It’s one of those desserts that looks impressive but is actually really simple to pull together. I love how customizable it is, especially when arranging the berries into fun red, white, and blue patterns.  Whether I’m hosting a backyard BBQ or bringing something to a family gathering, this dessert never lasts long. It’s fresh, slightly indulgent, and perfect for warm weather when you want something sweet but not too heavy. Why You’ll Love This Recipe Pro Tips FAQs Can I use store-bought sugar cookie dough?Yes, about 1 pound works well and saves time without sacrificing flavor. Can I make this ahead of time?You can prepare the crust and topping a day or two ahead, but assemble with fruit on the day of serving. What fruits work best?Strawberries and blueberries are classic, but raspberries, blackberries, or kiwi also work well. How do I keep the crust from getting soggy?Make sure the crust is fully cooled and the fruit is dry before assembling. Can I freeze the fruit pizza?It’s not recommended, as the texture of the fruit and topping changes after freezing.
