A quick and festive dessert featuring a sugar cookie crust topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and whipped cream, perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz / 450 g) sugar cookie dough
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting or sweetening whipped cream)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If your sugar cookie dough is refrigerated, let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
  3. Lightly flour your surface, then press or roll the dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
  4. Carefully place the dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan, pressing it to fit snugly and evenly, creating a slight lip around the edge.
  5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set but still soft.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool at least 20 minutes before adding toppings.
  7. In a bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  8. Spread whipped cream evenly over the cooled crust using a spatula.
  9. Arrange sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top in a red, white, and blue pattern.
  10. Sprinkle lemon zest over the fruit and optionally dust with powdered sugar.
  11. Chill the fruit pizza in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill dough slightly before shaping if kitchen is warm. Poke holes in dough before baking if it puffs up. Cool crust completely before adding whipped cream to avoid melting. Use a sharp serrated knife for clean slicing. Can bake crust a day ahead and add toppings before serving.
