How to Make Patriotic Fruit Pizza

1. Make the crust. Combine the crushed graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla until well combined.
2. Spread the dough into the pan. I’d start by spraying the pan with non-stick cooking spray. This will allow the slices to come off easier, as well as create a thicker base, that won’t crumble. Spread the mixture out on a pizza pan (you can also use a 9 x 13 baking dish).
3. In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and powdered sugar until fully mixed and smooth. I used a hand mixer to combine these ingredients, but you could also do it by hand.
4. Spread this mixture over the graham cracker crust, leaving a little graham cracker crust showing.
5. Decorate your pizza with the strawberries and blueberries, and sprinkle powdered sugar over to finish.

Recipe Notes

• Usually, fruit pizzas have a sugar cookie crust. I am never one to complain about a sugar cookie, but I feel like it is such a bland bottom. It’s so floury, and takes away from the fruity flavor. So I love that this recipe is a graham cracker crust.
• The sauce is more fluffy filling than a sauce, but delicious and made with Greek yogurt (so you feel healthy eating it).
• We recommend that the cream cheese is at room temperature, so it smooths easier. You won’t have bumps in your sauce.

Modifications

This recipe is not limited to patriotic holidays. It is a fantastic option for birthday parties, baby showers, and any occasion where a sweet treat is needed!

Any fruit will go with it. For the patriotic theme, I used blue and red fruits, but you can easily make it with any fruit you desire.
