Servings: 15
Ingredients
Crust
- non-stick cooking spray
- 2 rolls refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Glaze
- 1/4 c sugar
- 1/4 c orange juice
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1.5 tsp cornstarch
- pinch salt
Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 c powdered sugar
- 4 oz frozen whipped topping
Toppings
- banana slices
- strawberries halved
- blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray your pan or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spread cookie dough evenly across the sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Allow the dough to cool COMPLETELY. (Mine took a couple of hours to cool.) After baked dough has cooled, it’s time to make the frosting.
- Beat the cream cheese together with the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the whipped topping.
- Spread frosting mixture evenly over the crust.
- OPTIONAL: Glaze to keep the bananas from browning. (Great option if you are making this recipe a few hours before serving.) You can make the glaze while the crust is still cooling. I let the glaze cool completely before I brushed it over the fruit so that the bananas did not turn brown from the heat.
- In a saucepan, bring the sugar, orange juice, water, lemon juice, cornstarch and salt to a boil, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- While the glaze is cooling, cut up fruit and place it in an American flag pattern on the crust.
- When glaze has cooled completely, brush over fruit.
- Store in the refrigerator until it’s time to serve. This dessert tastes best if you make it the same day you are planning to serve it.
- SERVING TIP: We actually sliced the cookie crust into squares BEFORE we frosted it. Then we covered it with the frosting, fruit and glaze. This made serving pre-cut slices to party guests a snap!
