With the 4th of July just around the corner, I am getting so excited to celebrate the independence of our beautiful country. I am so grateful for the liberties and freedoms that we have living in the USA.
Of course, a celebration is always in order, and it will be necessary to make a million red, white, and blue food items. This dessert pizza is easy, quick, and definitely a crowd-pleaser!

This patriotic fruit dessert pizza is fun and delicious! It has a brownie crust, with a homemade cream cheese frosting, blueberries for the stars, and strawberries for the stripes!
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (choose your favorite, I used gluten-free)
- 6 oz. blueberries
- 6 oz. strawberries sliced
Frosting:
- 1 cup butter melted
- 4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 12 oz. cream cheese
Instructions
- Turn the oven on and make brownie batter according to package instructions. When the batter is stirred well and complete, pour on to a small sheet pan and press batter down flat with a spatula or your fingers until the batter is smooth, and spread out over the entire sheet pan. Cook according to brownie package instructions.
- When the brownies are done, take out of oven and set aside until completely cooled off.
- While you are waiting for the brownies to cool off, prep the berries and frosting.
- Rinse the blueberries and strawberries.
- Slice the strawberries long ways from the top down to the bottom tip of the strawberry, discard the side parts (the middle is the best to use to make a beautiful strawberry pattern, on your dessert pizza from the lines of the strawberry).
To make the frosting:
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until melted (about 10 seconds or so).
- Transfer to a bowl (or electric mixer), on low, and beat with cream cheese and vanilla extract until nearly fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in confectioner's sugar into cream cheese mixture to make a smooth frosting.
- Store in refrigerator.
Dessert Pizza:
- To finish your dessert pizza, spread your homemade frosting thick on to your pizza (about 1/2 in.). Place your blueberries in a 6 by 8 rectangle shape in the left upper corner of the frosted brownies. Next, make 4 strawberry stripes, starting at the very top of the sheet pan and working your way down.
- Eat immedietly!
