Print Recipe

A festive and easy dessert featuring a crisp sugar cookie crust topped with fresh strawberries and blueberries arranged like a flag, optionally layered with a creamy cream cheese spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 16 ounces / 450 g) sugar cookie dough, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting after baking
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for cream cheese layer)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream cheese layer)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll out or press the sugar cookie dough into a rectangle about 12 x 8 inches (30 x 20 cm) on the baking sheet, keeping an even thickness around 1/4 inch (6 mm).
  3. Pre-bake the dough for 10-12 minutes until just set and starting to turn golden around the edges.
  4. While the crust bakes, beat softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (if using).
  5. Slice the strawberries lengthwise into thin slices; keep the blueberries whole.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the warm crust (optional).
  8. Arrange the fruit: place 3 rows of blueberry ‘stars’ in the upper left corner (about 3 x 5 blueberries), then create horizontal rows of strawberry slices and blueberries alternating to mimic flag stripes.
  9. Optionally sprinkle granulated sugar over the fruit for added sparkle.
  10. Chill the flag pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to firm up and flavors to meld.
  11. Slice into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife and serve.

Notes

Pre-bake the crust to prevent sogginess. Use fresh, firm berries for best texture. Keep the cream cheese layer thin to avoid overwhelming the crust. Chill well before slicing for cleaner cuts. Avoid overloading fruit to maintain crust crispness.
