Question 1

CAN I USE A DIFFERENT COOKIE BASE?

Accepted Answer

You can definitely use a different cookie base! I like to use a simple sugar cookie base, but you can switch it up and use any kind of cookie base that you like. Consider my recipe for chocolate chip cookie cake or triple chocolate cookie cake. Make the recipe as is and follow the rest of the preparation instructions in this fruit pizza recipe.

Question 2

CAN I MAKE THIS WITHOUT A ROUND PIZZA PAN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can press your fruit pizza crust into a 10" circle or square on a standard baking sheet or into a 9" x 13" baking pan. If you want to make a larger 4th of July fruit pizza, you can double the recipe for a 13" x 18" half sheet, cookie sheet, or jelly roll pan. See recipe notes for further instruction.

Question 3

CAN I ADD FLAVORING TO MY FRUIT DIP LAYER?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely add flavoring to your fruit dip layer by adding a dash of extract like vanilla, almond, orange, or lemon extract. You can also use a flavored cream cheese like strawberry cream cheese instead of plain cream cheese! Mixed with the marshmallow creme, that would be heavenly!

Question 4

CAN I USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN FRUIT DIP?

Accepted Answer

Fruit dip is light, tangy, and sweet which goes perfectly with this fruit pizza, but you can certainly use something like a cream cheese frosting or even a buttercream frosting! If you're looking for an even lighter or simpler base, you could even use my fresh whipped cream recipe as a base.

Question 5

IF I USE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING, CAN I ADD FLAVORING TO IT?

Accepted Answer

Just as with fruit dip, you can add different flavors to your cream cheese frosting by adding extract. Vanilla, almond, orange, and lemon are all great options here. You can use a flavored cream cheese such as strawberry cream cheese for more berry goodness! Another option is adding a squeeze of lemon and some lemon zest into the frosting for a natural lemon flavor.

Question 6

WHAT ARE THE BEST FRUITS FOR PATRIOTIC FRUIT PIZZA?

Accepted Answer

The best fruits for a patriotic fourth of July pizza are red and blue fruits! Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries are wonderful but you can also add blackberries! Steer clear of white fruits like slices of apple or banana, since these both oxidize quickly and can turn brown.

Question 7

CAN I USE OTHER FRUIT TO MAKE THIS A STANDARD FRUIT PIZZA?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! A standard fruit pizza often includes kiwis, thinly sliced mangos, strawberries, and blueberries. But you can really get creative here! Feel free to add grapes, orange slices, and peach slices!
