American Flag Fruit Pizza
Author: Adell
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
- FOR THE COOKIE:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2¾ cups + 1 T. cake flour (or 2½ cups all-purpose flour)
- 2½ teaspoons baking soda
- 2½ teaspoons cream of tarter
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ⅛ teaspoon almond extract (can use vanilla if you prefer)
- 3 cups powdered sugar (more or less depending on preference)
- FOR THE TOPPINGS:
- 8 ounces of fresh blueberries
- 24 ounces of fresh strawberries
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray a jelly roll pan (half sheet - 13"x18") with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. (This makes for easy cutting and removal. If you don't have parchment just grease well).
- Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla & almond extract. Beating well.
- Add the flour, baking soda and cream of tarter and mix until blended.
- With lightly flour hands, pat the dough into the cookie sheet. Spread it out even leaving about ½" space around the side (the dough will spread when it cooks).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes. Let cool then frost.
- FOR THE FROSTING:
- Beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium sized bowl until creamy. Add the almond extract & powdered sugar (start with 2 cups and add until you reach the sweetness you prefer) and beat till smooth. Spread over cooled cookie.
- Cover & chill the frosted cookie until cold.
- FOR THE TOPPINGS:
- Cut the tops off of the strawberries and slice in half.
- Place the blueberries in the top left corner in a square then stager the white chocolate chips to look like stars. Place the strawberries in horizontal rows, starting at the top. I did 5 rows.
Notes
I made this recipe with cake flour (you can find it in the baking isle in a pink box). Gives it a finer texture and I think tastes a little different. If you don't have it, regular all-purpose flour is fine too. Just use 2½ cups instead.
