An Easy Dessert Kids Will Love to Make

This dessert is so fun to make with the kids! They will love smoothing out the cookie dough on the baking sheet, spreading the topping and most of all, creating the fruit pattern on the top!

Make This Dessert Semi-Homemade

I made this dessert even easier and faster to create by using pre-made cookie dough as the base layer. Of course, you can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe if you want a completely homemade tart! If you want to make the sugar cookie dough – here is my favorite recipe: Grandma’s Famous Sugar Cookie Recipe!

More Fourth of July Menu Ideas

So many wonderful desserts! If you are planning a Fourth of July get-together, here are a few other things that we serve along with our fruit pizza. My husband loves to grill, so we love to put together a hot dog bar where people can put the toppings they want on their dogs. A favorite are Chicago Dogs!

Another thing we love to do for the Fourth of July is Vegetable Grill Packets. Everyone makes up their own packet with whatever they like — corn on the cob, potatoes, caulifower, onions, broccoli. Then we add some butter and put them on the grill. So yummy!

I have a post all about it!

Vegetable Grill Packets

Looking for the perfect summer grill idea? Make vegetable grill packets! Sliced potatoes or cauliflower pieces in butter with spices are so good! Then make up a topping bar so your family and friends can add their favorites on top and you have an easy and fun dinner idea!

Fruit and veggie boards are also really festive and fun to put together. I made a few to share!

We also love making a potatoe salad for Fourth of July. Here are a couple of my favorite ones:

Roasted Herb Ranch Potato Salad

Roasted Herb Ranch Potato Salad. Flavorful herbs and potatoes are roasted, combined with crunchy veggies and a mouth-watering herbed ranch sauce for a potato salad that is out of this world!

Instant Pot Texas Style Potato Salad

Instant Pot Texas-Style Potato Salad is the perfect dish to take to ANY Summer party or BBQ. Fresh new potatoes in a sweet vinegar dressing are tossed with grilled onions and bacon for a light potato salad everyone will love! Make it in your Instant Pot and you can whip this up in just a few minutes.
