This recipe using red and blue fruit for a patriotic theme was a big hit at a recent Independence Day family gathering. Ingredients:
Slice and Bake Pillsbury Sugar cookie dough
16 oz. Cool Whip
16 oz. softened cream cheese
Fresh fruits which are colorful like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and Kiwi.
Flaked coconut toasted or not (optional)
Pizza pan, lightly greased
Directions:
Remove cookie dough from package and flatten onto pizza pan covering entire pan. Bake as directed for cookies until golden brown. Let cool. Mix together the Cool Whip and cream cheese (will have some lumps). Spread mixture onto cooked cookie evenly. Arrange fruits on top any way you like. Sprinkle coconut over. Keep chilled until time to serve. Best when made and consumed in the same day.
