Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 store-bought pizza dough or homemade dough
Toppings
- 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the pizza dough to achieve a crispy base.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Dough: Place the dough in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until it turns golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Make the Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread evenly over the cooled pizza crust. Then, dollop the cream cheese mixture on top, spreading it gently to cover most of the surface but leaving some areas to show the hazelnut spread.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Using a spoon or a piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the entire pizza for an extra chocolatey finish.
- Serve: Slice the dessert pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pizza dough.
- You can substitute chocolate hazelnut spread with peanut butter or almond butter for a different flavor.
- If you prefer a colder dessert, refrigerate the assembled pizza for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips and chocolate for the best taste.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the spread.
