This classic fruit pizza is made in a large cookie sheet and topped with strawberries and blueberries for a festive Fourth of July dessert everyone will love!
This flag fruit pizza has become a tradition. And I just love traditions, especially ones that involve food ;). It’s easy, delicious, totally adorable and who doesn’t love a dessert that doubles as decoration? Add this to your menu for the weekend, everyone will be happy you did! I know I will be making it!
If you don’t like strawberries, raspberries will work too!
Depending on the size of your strawberries, you can cut them in slices with 2-3 berries per piece.
The white chocolate chips are not totally necessary, if you don’t have any or don’t want to buy them. But I think they look perfect for the “stars” on the flag!
I hope you all have a happy & safe, Fourth of July weekend, spending it with the ones you love most!

I made this for the 4th of July. It was so delicious! A huge hit, every loved it and we ate the entire pan! They said I’m in charge of making it again next year lol 🙂
Yay! So happy it was well loved. Glad you tried this recipe and everyone loved it. I’l be making it next year right along with you 🙂
The flavor was great, but I found the crust to be too soft for fruit pizza. Crust feel apart when cutting and eating. Looked cute before cutting and tasted good.
The cake is tender because of the cake flour. Thanks for the feedback. You can use AP flour or even half AP and half cake flour to help with it not being so soft. Glad you enjoyed the flavor. I will add notes to the recipe.
xo,
Adell
One of my favorite things about this was how soft the crust was 😋😋
