A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring a creamy sweetened cream cheese layer on a cookie crust topped with fresh red, white, and blue fruit, perfect for summer parties and 4th of July celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made sugar cookie crust (9-inch) or Oreo cookie crust
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) white grapes or banana slices

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
  2. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the pre-made cookie crust to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  6. Wash and dry all the fruit thoroughly. Slice strawberries lengthwise and halve grapes if large.
  7. Arrange the strawberries, blueberries, and white grapes or banana slices on the cream cheese layer to create a patriotic flag design.
  8. Chill the assembled fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften properly before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and whisk before whipping cream for best results. Dry fruit thoroughly to prevent soggy crust. Chill assembled pizza at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 1 day. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives.
