Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-inch pizza pan or a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Press the dough evenly onto the prepared pizza pan to form a crust.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
• While the crust cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined and fluffy.
• Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled crust.
• Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the frosting to create the flag design. Use blueberries for the stars in a corner, and arrange strawberries and raspberries in stripes.
• Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
