I love making holiday inspired recipes, a few of my favorite Fourth of July recipes are Red White and Blue Trifle, Red White and Blueberry Cheesecake Cupcakes, RW+B Chocolate Chip Fro-yo Sandwiches, and Red White and Blue Fruit Skewers with Cheesecake Yogurt Dip.

My slimmed down fruit pizza was such a hit I decided to make a red, white and blue version using blueberries and raspberries for my stars and stripes for the Fourth of July! If you don’t recall, this is a lightened up white chocolate chip cookie bar topped with cream cheese frosting and fresh fruit – delish!

Madison helped me make this American flag and carefully placed the “stars” onto the frosting. She also helped me taste-test the final product to make sure it tasted yummy – she approved!

You could also used sliced strawberries if you prefer, but using raspberries didn’t require any cutting, so it was pretty quick to assemble.

Prep: 45 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Yield: 28 servings
Serving Size: 1 bar

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose unbleached flour, Gold Medal
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar, unpacked
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

For the Frosting:

  • 8 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

To Assemble:

  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 2 cups raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly spray a 9 x 13 x 1.375 inch non-stick baking pan (quarter sheet pan) with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and stir to blend.
  • In another bowl, whisk the sugars with the butter, egg whites, applesauce and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula in two additions until the batter is very well blended. If the batter looks more “crumbly” than smooth, add just a drop of water at a time (ONLY if needed) until it smooths out.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter onto the baking pan using the back of a measuring cup to smooth evenly.
  • Bake 14 to 16 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Don't over-bake or your bars will be dry.
  • Let it cool completely on wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting; in a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until well-blended.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the surface of the cookie, leaving a small margin around the edges.
  • Layer the fresh fruit over the frosting.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • To serve, cut the bars into 28 pieces (I did 7 cuts by 4 cuts with the knife).
