Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the vegetable shortening and margarine together until thoroughly combined, and beat in 1 1/2 cup of sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in the flour mixture to make a workable dough, and spread the dough out in a rectangle shape onto an ungreased 12x17 inch baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until very lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- While the cookie base is cooling, mash the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Place sliced bananas in a bowl, and gently toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- To decorate the pizza, spread the cream cheese filling all over the cookie base in an even, smooth layer. Place the blueberries in a square in neat, closely-spaced rows, in the left upper corner for blue stars. Arrange alternating stripes of white bananas and red strawberry slices across the pizza. Refrigerate leftovers.

PATRIOTIC FRUIT PIZZA
I made this up off the top of my head for Independence Day, but it could be used as a light refreshing summer dessert. Not exactly nutritious, but light cream cheese and skim milk make it not too unhealthy. It's very nice with a cold glass of milk, I'm sure it'd be delicious with other fruits, but I recommend using fresh over frozen!

Almond extract makes all the difference in this updated version of the traditional fruit pizza. Kiwi makes the topping completely fresh and adds beautiful color. Use low-fat cream cheese for a slightly lighter version. Any clear juice (apple, pear, peach, etc.) may be substituted for the pineapple.

Tips:

- To make the cream cheese filling, be sure to use softened cream cheese. This will make it easier to mix.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the cream cheese filling.
- To make the fruit topping, use your favorite berries and fruits. Just be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before using.
- If you want a sweeter fruit pizza, you can drizzle some honey or agave syrup over the top before serving.
