With Memorial Day and July 4th coming up shortly, I wanted to make a Red, White, and Blue Pizza Recipe. A challenge if you will!
Do you know how many foods are red, white, and blue??
I went through a wide range of failed red, white and blue cupcakes, strawberry cake (total icing disaster) and red velvet cake that just didn’t quite capture what I was looking for.
This entire time I have been wanting to focus on fruit because honestly, when I think of July 4th, I think of Strawberries and Cream, watermelon slices, and all sorts of fresh fruits. Even so, I was afraid to use fruit because when you are talking about a challenge, how “guilty” can a bowl of strawberries get?
Then I realized I was thinking way too literally…the strawberries just needed to be bathed in something guilty. I have seen “fruit” pizzas done so many different ways so here is mine to add to your ever growing recipes. I truly hope you love it and I would so love to hear about your rendition of this dessert.
Red, White, and Blue (Brownie) Pizza
Red, White, and Blue Pizza Recipe
- 1 package of brownie mix
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1 package of cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- lots of fruit! (i used strawberries, blueberries, bananas, raspberries)
- optional edible glitter
- Take brownie mix, water, oil and egg and blend. Spread in a pizza pan. I used a 9 inch to have a taller brownie, but you can use up to a 12 inch. Make sure the pan is greased and floured. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes.
- Take softened cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Spread on brownie pizza and bake 15 more minutes. Cool.
- Arrange cut organic strawberries, bananas, and other fruits and top with cute glitter for a fun surprise.

I don’t do chocolate with fruit. So, I’m going to try a sugar cookie crust.
This looks so good. I am definitely going to try it, but I may try using my grandmother’s buttercream frosting instead if cream cheese as that tends to bother Bill’s tummy.
I saw these incredibly HUGE strawberries at Publix today, so I may go back and get some tomorrow.
This is pinned and ready to go for the weekend.
Oh wow! That looks amazingly delicious!!!
This looks really good – in spite of the fruit! LOL!
You crack me up.
You are killing my resolution to stop eating sugar. This looks sooo good.
Mmmm this looks heavenly. I love strawberries and chocolate together, so I already know I would love this!
Trisha – should this say 2 eggs? I was going to make this for Monday and was just making sure I covered everything in our shopping trip.
i totally suck for answering so late! The brownie mix you make as per the box…the egg is for the cream cheese mixture so yes its just one!
Ki’m’s looks good too but I’m a sucker for brownies and cream cheese, so this one has to get my vote!
woot!
It looks absolutely delicious!
thankyou very much!
This looks amazing! I definitely want to try this for Memorial Day this weekend!
This looks delicious!
This would be so great at our 4th of July beach weekend. Maybe I will make it… maybe I will be lazy 🙂
Love this for the 4th of July.
Oh that looks so GOOD! I def have to make this soon. I agree that glitter is the perfect touch.
Yum, yum and more yum!
I love the brownie bottom … What a great twist on the fruit pizza. I think I will be making this soon! 🙂
That looks good! Can’t wait to see what Kim comes up with!
Yum! Anything with chocolate and I’m there! LOOOOOOVE the edible glitter! Never heard of such a thing. 😀
I saw cream cheese in that recipe. That’s my #1 guilty pleasure
cream cheese…with SUGAR.
Wow it looks delicious! It’s not too guilty 🙂
Made the mistake of letting my preschooler sit with me as I checked out this recipe… Now he is BEGGING me to make it.
Gorgeous photo… Loving that glitter! Where did you find it?
Hobby Lobby over where the Wilton stuff is
Just eat the top part = guilt free.
This looks delicious! I can’t wait to see Kim’s guilt-free answer to your recipe!
