Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Heavy whipping cream for topping
Fresh blueberries
Fresh strawberries, sliced lengthwise

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add in the egg. Beat until combined.
Mix in the baking powder and salt. Gradually fold in flour until a soft dough forms.
Press and cut the dough into rectangles and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely before decorating.
Whip the heavy cream until fluffy. Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the cookie base.
Place 9 blueberries in the upper-left corner of the rectangle.
Add strawberry slices for the flag's red stripes.
Finally, pipe whipped cream between the red stripes for the flag's white stripes.

Notes

Don't forget to rinse the fresh berries and pat them dry before using them on the American flag fruit pizza!
Instead of plain whipped cream, use a richer cheesecake mousse on your patriotic fruit pizza. Just whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Then, fold in some whipped cream into the cream cheese frosting.
Keep your 4th of July fruit pizza in the fridge until you're ready to serve it. You don't need to cover it to protect the piped cream.
