# What You Need:

01 - 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

→ Cream Cheese Frosting

→ Fruit Topping

06 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
07 - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

# Directions:

02 - Press sugar cookie dough evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan to form a smooth base.

05 - Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cookie crust using a spatula.
06 - Place blueberries in the top-left corner to represent the flag’s star field. Alternate rows of sliced strawberries and bananas across the remaining space to create red and white flag stripes.
07 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving for clean slices and best presentation.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • You get a stunning dessert that looks like it took all day, but really comes together in under an hour.
  • Kids and adults alike can't help but sneak an extra bite thanks to the nostalgic cookie base and fresh fruit.
02 -
  • If the crust is still warm, your frosting will melt into a puddle—I learned the hard way to let it cool fully!
  • Slicing the bananas at the very last minute and brushing with lemon juice keeps them pretty, not brown.
03 -
  • Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before making frosting on a hot day for the creamiest results.
  • A quick honey glaze brushed over the fruit keeps everything shiny and fresh even after a few hours.
