FOURTH OF JULY FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• To make this Red White and Blue Fruit Pizza, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and then let's start with your Pillsbury sugar cookie crust. Spray a bit of non-stick spray on a 12" pizza pan and then add a sheet of parchment paper traced to fit the pizza pan shape and then spray the parchement paper with more of the non-stick spray. The spray on the bottom keeps your parchment paper from sliding around too much while you prepare the crust and the spray on top keeps the sugar cookie crust from sticking. Open up your roll of sugar cookie dough and start tearing off chunks of the raw cookie dough and dropping them on the pan until you have it all broken up. Using your hands, lightly and evenly press the cookie dough into the pan to make the crust. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned, remove and set aside to cool completely.
• While your crust is cooling, make your cream cheese frosting. Add cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with the room temperature butter and cream until smooth and fluffy. Add in sifted powdered sugar, a dash of salt, milk, vanilla extract and the zest of one lime. Mix together until well incorporated and then move the refrigerator while your crust continues to cool.
• Once your sugar cookie crust has cooled completely, spread your cream cheese frosting over your crust and then decorate with fresh blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Serve immediatly and refrigerate any leftovers.

Mix in the flour mixture to make a workable dough, and spread the dough out in a rectangle shape onto an ungreased 12x17 inch baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• While the cookie base is cooling, mash the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Place sliced bananas in a bowl, and gently toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
• To decorate the pizza, spread the cream cheese filling all over the cookie base in an even, smooth layer. Place the blueberries in a square in neat, closely-spaced rows, in the left upper corner for blue stars. Arrange alternating stripes of white bananas and red strawberry slices across the pizza.
